Surge Capacitor for AC Rotation Machine
Power appartus is continuously subjected to abnormal voltages due to internal or external reasons. These may occur on account of lightening, switching operations, system faults and other abnormal conditions. SC1000 surge capacitors are capable of bringing down the steepness or slope of over voltage transients, that may appear across transformer and other AC line connected equipments. Unless the transients are dampened effectively they may cause catastrophic failure of these devices. The level gets truncated before operating across the insulation of a device by reducing the slope of incoming surge with conventional arresters fitted in conjunction with surge capacitors. The SC1000 surge capacitors must be designed to withstand and absorb damped or oscillatory line disturbance at the point of common coupling.
