High-Voltage Self-Healing Capacitor

Product Introduction

The High-Voltage Self-Healing Capacitor is a high-voltage passive electronic component designed for demanding power and energy applications. It incorporates self-healing dielectric technology, allowing the capacitor to recover from localized minor dielectric breakdowns during operation and continue functioning without causing a major system failure.

Manufactured by Wuxi Power Filtering Co., Ltd., this high-voltage capacitor is designed for applications requiring stable reactive power compensation, high electrical reliability, and extended service life. Its self-healing capability helps limit the impact of localized dielectric faults, while the oil-free construction eliminates concerns associated with oil leakage, burning, and explosion.

The capacitor features a robust rectangular austenitic stainless steel enclosure and fixed mounting structure with lifting lugs and bolted fixing points, providing a practical solution for high-voltage electrical equipment and power compensation systems.

Key Product Advantages

Self-Healing Dielectric Technology

The capacitor is designed to autonomously recover from localized minor dielectric breakdowns. When a small internal dielectric fault occurs, the affected area can be isolated while the capacitor continues operating.

This self-healing characteristic helps reduce the risk of catastrophic dielectric failure and supports long-term operational reliability.

High-Voltage 10kV AC Rating

The capacitor is rated for 10kV AC, making it suitable for high-voltage power systems and electrical compensation equipment where conventional low-voltage capacitors cannot meet system requirements.

100–500 kvar Reactive Power Capacity

With a rated capacity range of 100 to 500 kvar, the capacitor can be selected for different high-voltage reactive power compensation requirements.

The available capacity range supports flexible integration into high-voltage power systems according to the required compensation level and electrical configuration.

Oil-Free Construction

The High-Voltage Self-Healing Capacitor uses an oil-free construction, eliminating the risk of oil leakage associated with conventional oil-filled capacitor designs.

The oil-free design also helps prevent potential burning and explosion hazards caused by leaking or combustible insulating oil, making it suitable for installations where safety and simplified maintenance are important.

Long Expected Service Life

The expected lifespan reaches 100,000 hours under appropriate operating conditions. Long service life helps reduce replacement frequency and supports continuous operation in high-voltage electrical systems.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The capacitor is designed for an operating temperature range of -45°C to +70°C, supporting reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions.

Technical Specifications

Self-Healing Principle

A self-healing capacitor is designed to withstand localized dielectric breakdowns without necessarily resulting in complete component failure.

When a minor dielectric fault occurs, the localized fault area can be electrically isolated, allowing the remaining capacitor structure to continue performing its intended function. This helps improve operational continuity and reduces the possibility of sudden catastrophic failure caused by minor internal dielectric defects.

For high-voltage applications, this characteristic is particularly valuable because capacitor reliability can directly affect the availability and stability of the associated power system.

Oil-Free High-Voltage Shunt Capacitor

The product adopts an oil-free high-voltage shunt capacitor design. Compared with oil-filled constructions, the absence of insulating oil eliminates oil leakage and reduces risks associated with combustible liquid insulation.

Key benefits include:

• No oil leakage

• Reduced fire-related risk

• No oil-filled maintenance requirements

• Cleaner installation environment

• Suitable for high-voltage reactive power compensation

• Long-term operational stability

The oil-free construction makes the capacitor suitable for electrical installations where safety, reliability, and simplified maintenance are important considerations.

Robust Mechanical Construction

The capacitor uses a rectangular housing manufactured from austenitic stainless steel. The enclosure is designed to provide mechanical protection for the internal capacitor assembly during installation and operation.

Fixed mounting is supported by lifting lugs and bolted capacitor fixing. The lifting structure facilitates equipment handling, while bolted fixing provides secure positioning within high-voltage compensation equipment and electrical installations.

Dry Type & Resin Potting

Two potting configurations are available:

Dry Type: Suitable for applications where an oil-free, dry capacitor construction is preferred.

Resin Potting: Provides encapsulation and additional protection for the internal capacitor structure, supporting mechanical and electrical stability.

The appropriate configuration can be selected according to system requirements, installation conditions, and project specifications.
