FRAKO Triple Safety Technology Extends the Life of Capacitors

FRAKO combines segmented film with self healing and over pressure disconnecting to offer Triple Safety protection against high energy voltage transients that can be damaging to typical capacitors. The primary objective of FRAKO’s exclusive triple safety feature is safety, but the result is also longer capacitor life.

Segmented film construction offers the highest degree of protection available against high energy internal short circuits caused by self healing events in the capacitor windings. Segmented film can safely remove a damaged section of film to protect against capacitor bursting.

FRAKO’s Dry-type capacitors eliminate the concerns of leakage and flammability associated with oil-filled capacitors, and offer enhanced protection beyond the capabilities of self-healing film alone, against severe over-voltage transients.

FRAKO Capacitors have unique features that offer superior performance and long life:

1. Withstands harmonic current and handles maximum continuous current up to 2.25 times rated current.
2. Self-healing film protects against typical over-voltage.
3. Segmented film technology removes small damaged segments but retains overall capacitor integrity.
4. Patented overpressure disconnector system completely removes all three phases of the capacitor from the electrical circuit at end of life or under severe overload.
5. FRAKO capacitors withstand harmonics and high ambient temperatures (up to 68°C) together without derating.
