Built Into Tomorrow

Benefits

• Self-healing

• IMQ and UL810 approved (construction only)

• Rated frequency of 50 Hz and 60 Hz

• High capacitance density

Overview

The C27 capacitor is a polypropylene metallized film

capacitor, with a cylindrical, plastic can-type design

filled with resin. It uses faston and plastic deck, or

cable terminals.

Applications

Typical applications include motor run S0 safety class.
