Compensating capacitors are AC capacitors designed for individual correction of the power factor of transformers and magnetic ballasts in discharge lamps (e.g. fluorescent lamps, halogen and metal halide lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, sodium lamps) in mains with a frequency of 50 or 60Hz. This allows for an improvement of the luminary’s power factor to cosμ>0.85
Benefits
Up to 250v 50Hz/60Hz -40ºC~85ºC application
Features
Polypropylene film
Type A capacitor
Applications
With magnetic ballasts for HID fluorescent and halogen lamps in lighting applications (road lighting, urban lighting, industry lighting, retail lighting, etc), Capacitor should be restricted to built-in situations where relative humid is limited
