The 27L Series of capacitors may be used in AC applications where the voltage waveform is non­sinusoidal.
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 25
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:
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.
(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 70ºC 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).
