RegalBeloit brings over 60 year of capacitor manufacturing experience to the product lines described in this publication. These capacitors represent the best in product design for longterm reliability and safe operation. RegalBeloit's materials, product, and process development work continue to provide capacitor users with outstanding total value. The specific products in this bulletin are aimed at market / application segments for General Purpose, Power Supply, and Electronic Power Conversion. The GEM III General Purpose Capacitors are used for filtering on a wide variety of light industrial equipment. The conversion of electrical power and uninterruptible power supplies and drive control systems requires filter capacitors. An application note is included to help customers in the correct choice and use of these capacitors. GEC 003 - 07 / 08 www.gecapacitors.com Descriptive Information GEM III Construction GEM III Series Construction RegalBeloit's GEM III capacitors are manufactured with highgrade metallized polypropylene film. This film is in the range of 5 to 10 microns thick, depending on the application, voltage, and conditions. The metallized electrode is several hundred angstroms thick. The film is wound into capacitor rolls on highspeed, high precision machines. The winding is extremely tight so that there is not enough space between the layers for corona (localized partial electrical discharges) to occur. The rolls are sprayed on both ends with metal to make the connection to the extremely thin edges of the metallized electrodes. This process is critical to the quality and performance of the capacitors. The rolls are assembled in metal cases, RegalBeloit's proprietary Dielektrol VI liquid is introduced under vacuum, and the capacitors are sealed. They are then subjected to 100% electrical testing for capacitance, dissipation factor, and high potential electrical withstand, both terminaltoterminal and terminaltocase. GEC 003 - 07 / 08 03 www.gecapacitors.com 04 Product Safety Pressure Sensitive Interrupter All the capacitors listed in this publication contain RegalBeloit's Pressure Sensitive Interrupter (PSI). This device, developed by GE, is designed to sense the buildup of pressure within the capacitor if a fault occurs and to interrupt the internal electrical connections before the case can rupture. The PSI carries U.L.* recognition for applications where the specified fault currents are not exceeded. The fault current is the maximum current that is available from the circuit to flow through the capacitor if the capacitor were to become a short circuit with zero impedance. It is the responsibility of the capacitor user to determine what the available fault current is for a particular application. In the Catalog Number listings a four character U.L. Code, Pxxx, is given. This number is part of the listing for RegalBeloit in U.L. File No. E7793. When applying to U.L. for approvals or recognition of equipment using these capacitors refer to the Pxxx number and not the Catalog Number of the capacitor in question. Proper operation of the PSI requires that the cover be able to expand without restriction. The following mounting considerations should be noted in mounting the these capacitors. *Underwriter's Laboratory GEC 003 - 07 / 08 www.gecapacitors.com 05 Product Safety Mounting Considerations Vertical Clearance There must be sufficient clearance between the tops of the terminals (and/or the assembled wire connectors) and a plane perpendicular to the capacitor terminals. This clearance must be at least 0.5 inches plus the electrical spacing requirements of the end application. 0.5" min. plus end application spacing Case Style A B C D CutOut Clearance a 2.00 2.25 2.50 3.25 In certain instances, capacitors are mounted with the top of the capacitors case resting against the chassis and the terminals protruding through the chassis. Care must be taken to see that the cutout in the chassis is large enough. The following dimensions are recommended.

This Application Note is provided to assist in the correct use of the capacitors where higher frequency harmonic currents are present. If you need further assistance please contact RegalBeloit's Capacitors Operation through your normal sales channel. Higher frequency currents are commonly encountered in the filter circuits of Static Power Converters. These frequencies range from 180 to 1500 Hz for a 60 Hz system in various combinations of the odd harmonics depending on the type of converter. Generally, there are not significant harmonic currents above the 25th harmonic. These capacitors can carry a total current of up to 15 amperes RMS (fundamental plus harmonics). The Equivalent Series Resistance (ERS) for each Catalog Number is shown in the ESR tables on this page. This value may be used to calculate the expected watts loss for a particular application. The user must determine the total RMS current (fundamental plus harmonics) for the application. The watts loss is then calculated using the equation: W=I2 x ESR I = Total RMS current ESR = Value from ESR Tables The calculated watts from this equation must not exceed the allowable watts loss shown on the curve corresponding to the particular capacitor. Two sets of curves are shown, one for natural circulation and one for forced air circulation. NOTES: (1) In no case should the total RMS current of 15 amperes be exceeded for any of these capacitors (2) Running the capacitors at case temperatures above 70C will have a significant effect on expected life. (See chart G1 on page 11). (3) Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also results in significantly reduced life. (See chart G2 on page 12).

This Application Note is provided to assist in the correct use of the capacitors where higher frequency harmonic currents are present. If you need further assistance please contact RegalBeloit's Capacitors Operation through your normal sales channel. Higher frequency currents are commonly encountered in the filter circuits of Static Power Converters. These frequencies range from 180 to 1500 Hz for a 60 Hz system in various combinations of the odd harmonics depending on the type of converter. Generally, there are not significant harmonic currents above the 25th harmonic. These capacitors can carry a total current of up to 15 amperes RMS (fundamental plus harmonics). The Equivalent Series Resistance (ERS) for each Catalog Number is shown in the ESR tables on this page. This value may be used to calculate the expected watts loss for a particular application. The user must determine the total RMS current (fundamental plus harmonics) for the application. The watts loss is then calculated using the equation: W=I2 x ESR I = Total RMS current ESR = Value from ESR Tables The calculated watts from this equation must not exceed the allowable watts loss shown on the curve corresponding to the particular capacitor. Two sets of curves are shown, one for natural circulation and one for forced air circulation. NOTES: (1) In no case should the total RMS current of 15 amperes be exceeded for any of these capacitors (2) Running the capacitors at case temperatures above 70C will have a significant effect on expected life. (See chart G1 on page 25). (3) Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also results in significantly reduced life. (See chart G2 on page 26).
