The 97F8200 Series of capacitors may be used in AC applications where the voltage waveform is
non-sinusoidal. 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
Regal-Beloit’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
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 G-1 on page 18).
(3) Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also results in
significantly reduced life. (See chart G-2 on page 19).
