Intelligent Capacitor Solutions
For safe and reliable performance of virtually any motor run system,
choose Aerovox capacitors. Our SuperMet
™
line of oil impregnated,
AC capacitors for use in motor run, HVAC, UPS and other general
purpose applications are constructed using high quality materials
and Lean Six Sigma manufacturing practices. If you have specialized
needs, our flexible manufacturing processes allow us to quickly
provide custom configurations.
Aerovox capacitors undergo 100% electrical testing including:
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) for 2000 hours at 125% voltage rating
and temperature at 10°C greater than maximum rating, fault
current, and mechanical testing. The SuperMet line is designed to
meet performance testing outlined in the Electrical Industry
Association (EIA) standard #RS-456A.
Aerovox provides intelligent capacitor solutions.

AC Film CApACitors For motor run,

Aerovox’s line of SuperMet capacitors are manufactured using state-of-
the-art, self-healing metalized polypropylene film technology. Designed
to operate in environments where there is a requirement for an internal
protective device, these capacitors incorporate a UL-approved pressure-
sensitive interrupter to remove the capacitor from the circuit at end of life.
Each capacitor is filled with our patented, environmentally-friendly ESO
(Epoxidized Soybean Oil). Used as the dielectric fluid, the soybean oil
protects metallized film from corrosion, aids optimum heat transfer, and
helps suppress the degrading effects of corona, which may otherwise cause
premature failures. Proprietary processing with vacuum and heat cycles
ensures complete removal of moisture, resulting in superior capacitance
stability and long term reliability.
