CPD 511 - 03 / 07 www.regalbeloitcapacitors.com 2 Descriptive Information GEM III Construction RBC ‘s Gem III capacitors are manufactured with high-grade metallized polypropylene film. This film is in the range of 5 to 10 microns thick, depending on the application voltage and conditions. The metallized electrode is several hundred angstroms thick. The film is wound into capacitor rolls on high-speed, high- precision machines. The winding is extremely tight so that there is not enough space between the layers for corona (localized partial electrical discharges) to occur. The rolls are sprayed on both ends with metal to make connection to the extremely thin edges of the metalized electrodes. This process is critical to the quality and performance of the capacitors. The rolls are assembled in metal cases, RBC’s proprietary Dielektrol VI liquid is introduced under vacuum, and the capacitors are sealed. They are then subjected to 100% e l e ct r i cal t e st i n g f o r cap acitance, dissipation factor, and high potential electrical withstand, both terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-case. CPD 511 - 03 / 07 www.regalbeloitcapacitors.com Mounting Considerations Product Safety 3 Pressure Sensitive Interrupter Vertical Clearance All the capacitors listed in this publication contain There must be sufficient clearance RBC's Pressure Sensitive Interrupter (PSI). This between the tops of the terminals (and/or device, developed by RBC, is designed to sense the the assembled wire connectors) and a build-up of pressure within the capacitor if a fault plane perpendicular to the capacitor occurs and to interrupt the internal electrical terminals. This clearance must be at least connections before the case can rupture. 0.5 inches plus the electrical spacing requirements of the end application. The PSI carries U.L. * recognition for applications where the specified fault currents are not exceeded. The fault current is the maximum current that is available from the circuit to flow through the capacitor if the capacitor were to become a short circuit with zero impedance. It is the responsibility of the capacitor user to determine what the available fault current is for a particular application. Cut-Out Clearance In the Catalog Number listings a four character U.L. Code, Pxxx, is given. This number is part of the listing In certain instances capacitors are mounted for RBC in U.L. File No. E7793. When applying to U.L. with the top of the capacitor case resting for approvals or recognition of equipment using these against the chassis and the terminals capacitors refer to the Pxxx number and not the protruding through the chassis.
