Film Capacitors – Power Factor Correction
Data logger BR6000-R12/S485 / BR7000
Areas of usage
B44066R1311E230
DataLogSD
Storage of grid parameters for a time interval for (graphical) evaluation via PC-software included in
the delivery
Recording and evaluation of minimum and maximum values
Recording of voltage and power curves
Recording and evaluation of harmonics in the grid
Evaluation of status and control behaviour of the compensation system by
Investigation of the correlation between switching behaviour, cos
φ
and remaining reactive power –
thus fault detection and optimization of the system settings
Evaluation of system dimensioning
Recording of switching operations and switching times of all steps: detection of wear-off of
switching devices
Review of target output of switched steps compared to the measured reactive power – detection of
defective steps possible
Recording of temperature in the compensation system, early detection of thermal problems
Evaluation software for PC (Windows-compatible) included in the delivery
The particular PC-software allows the comfortable evaluation of the measured data, assessment of
grid parameters.
Display of grid parameters, cos
φ,
reactive power
Reactive power of grid and system – cos
φ
Reactive power of grid and system – step status
Comparative display of ACTUAL and TARGET cos
φ
Diagrams of switched reactive power of the system
Harmonics
Temperature curve of the system during measuring
interval
Number of switching operations and switching times of
all steps as bar diagram – detection of wear-off
Cautions and warnings
The acquired measurement results must be considered as values that should help the user to track errors or for
evaluating a compensation system. The final rating is incumbent on the user.
Note
For detailed information about PFC capacitors and cautions, refer to the latest version of EPCOS PFC
Product Profile.
Important: Please note that the „General Safety Recommendations for Power Capacitors“ by ZVEI
(German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers´ Association (ZVEI) have to be observed in addition
to the caution guidelines stated in the data sheet (Internet: www.epcos.com/pfc).

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain
statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application.
These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out
that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application.
As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that
in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified.
In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or
failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident
prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the
customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry
or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3.
The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements,
some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous).
Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently,
the products described in this
publication may change from time to time.
The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also
reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products.
Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts,
all orders are subject to the current version of
the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry”
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
