The B25836B*A305 Series from EPCOS is an especially rugged line of PFC (power factor correction) capacitors. They are based on EPCOS’ proprietary MKV technology and are distinguished by their high temperature tolerance and long operating life. These capacitors are available for voltages of between 400 and 800 V at 50/60 Hz. Their reactive power ranges between 5 and 30 kvar. The inrush current can be up to 500 times the rated current. As stipulated in temperature class -40/D, they have a life expectancy of 300,000 hours. According to IEC 60831-1/2, 50,000 switching operations per year are permissible when used in a detuned circuit.Find more information on the EPCOS website.
