Type PFCH, 3-Phase AC Power Harmonic Filter Capacitors
Type PFCH 3-phase series capacitors are designed to filter undesirable
harmonics at the AC output of large inverter system. Each PFCH
capacitor is made with three self-healing metallized polypropylene
windings, connected in delta, enclosed in a cylindrical aluminum
case and filled with an environmentally friendly fluid. Typical
applications include wind turbine PFC controllers, solar inverter
output filters, and power line conditioning.
