Technical Remarks
For the operation of Power Factor Correction Capacitors three aspects are of utmost importance:
Q High overload capacity
Q Long life expectancy
QSafe reaction at overload

Overload Capacity
In networks where the pollution with harmonics is permanently increasing, surplus loads in capacitors have
