ANTEX A7™  Capacitor
AC Capacitors for Motor Run Applications
wpeD.jpg (38713 bytes)
Application: In addition to motor run applications these capacitors have been designed for air conditioning, power conversion equipment and fluorescent lighting. This series is designed for use in markets/applications where UL/CSA approvals are not required. For more design options, see SPRAGUE™ 328P motor run capacitors, having UL, CSA, VDE approvals.

CONSTRUCTION:

The Saha Antex™ A7 Series capacitor is designed using two layers of polypropylene film which have been vacuum deposited with special combination of metals to act as the electrodes of the capacitor . Two such layers are wound into sections using high speed winding equipment with computerized tension and speed controllers. Since the metallisation on the film is usually less than a micron in thickness, its current carrying capacity is extremely low. To overcome this the two ends of the section is provided with deposited metallisation layer which can now handle relatively high current that is very evenly distributed across the entire electrode. This metallised area also provides for the attachment of the internal terminals. These sections are impregnated in a special low viscosity fluid and then inserted into aluminum cans and filled with another specially formulated material which is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. These units are now sealed in an airtight manner and undergo a series of inspections before they are finally dispatched.

Since these capacitors are self clearing in nature they have tendency to repair itself in the case of a failure by evaporating the metallised area and creating a self margin. Thus making it as the preferred choice for motor run applications, air conditioning and fluorescent lighting.

SAFETY DEVICE

The ANTEX™ A7 Series are constructed in a manner that should for any reason there be excessive gas buildup due to overhearing of the capacitor unit, the front end of the capacitor will expand forward and disconnect the capacitor cell from its terminal. Care should be taken at the time of installation of the capacitor so as to allow a minimum margin of 10mm from the top of the unit to allow for the expansion.
