NEPSI Tech Talk Session 43: Medium-Voltage Power Capacitors 101

In this week’s Tech Talk #43 NEPSI is pleased to welcome Dan Luke, Capacitor Production Engineering Manager, and Clay Fellers, Capacitor NPD Engineering Manager, both from Eaton. Dan and Clay will be discussing in detail medium-voltage power capacitors, a key component used within NEPSI’s products whose complexity is often minimized or misunderstood. Dan and Clay are experts in power capacitors. They will be discussing capacitor unit history, governing formulas in their design, construction elements, losses and weight optimization, ratings, and applicable electrical standards (IEEE Standard 18 & IEC Standard 60871), normal service conditions, capacitor design terminology, Internally fused and externally fused capacitor design, routine and type testing of power capacitors, Eaton capacitor unit construction, and case rupture. If you are one of those engineers or purchasing agents that believe power capacitors are a commodity, then this is a must watch tech talk. It is full of technical information and will no doubt provide you with much needed information to evaluate and apply power capacitors in your projects. If you cannot make this tech talk, it is recorded like all of NEPSI Tech Talks. You can view it any time after the tech talk here.
