General Information
CAPACITORS
A capacitor is an electrical component, which sto-

res electric charge. Its most important application
is that of power factor correction (see Reactive
compensation chapter).
The capacitive element’s constructive material de-

pends on its application. RTR Energía S.L. manu-
factures cylindrical capacitors with propylene film,
metallized with elements such as Al o Zn, which
makes it self-healing and reduces the possible
losses. This film will have different thicknesses
depending on the working voltage. The elements
used for metallizing act as current conductors, and
the polypropylene as a dielectric.
Three-phase capacitor
After the manufacturing process and a quality con-

trol, the capacitive elements (coils) are introduced
Free margin
in aluminium or plastic cans, and then encapsu-
lated with polyurethane resin, which is ecological
and non-toxic. This resin is specially designed by
the RTR Energía S.L.’s Chemistry Department
and can be used with different capacitors and
electric equipments which need encapsulation.
Another type of capacitor

• MICA capacitors: used as high frequency and
telecommunication capacitors. Capacitive element
• CERAMIC capacitors: used in telecommunica-
tion applications when there is not enough spa-
ce.
• ELECTROLYTIC capacitors: used mainly for di-
rectcurrent rectifications.
• TRIM capacitors: their capacitance can be modi-
fied depending on the needs of the application.
Capacitor’s types
10
Electrical function of a capacitor
CAPACITORS
A capacitor is used for storing electrical energy.
The capacitor is charged when the capacitor’s pla-
tes voltage, Uc, levels up with the supply voltage, Ic
Uca.
The movement of the electrons in between the

plates of the capacitor constitutes the electrical
Uc
capacitive current Ic, which flows through the line
and provides electric energy to the capacitor, ge-
nerating an electric field between the capacitor’s
plates.
If Ic is released, the electrical energy remains sto-

red in the electric field, and so, in the capacitor.
Uca
CAPACITOR´S CHARGE
Plates
The number of electrons which are moving during
the charge of the capacitor (Q), measured in Cou-
lombs (C) which are dimensionally equivalent to
amperes times second (A·s). The charge is the
amount of electricity stored in the capacitor.
Q=I·t
I = Amperes (A)
t = Seconds (s)
Dielectric
Once the capacitor is charged, this charge is main-
tained even when the outer electrical energy is dis-
connected, as the attractive force between plates Plates
is also maintained, due to the polarity difference
between them.
Because of this, the capacitors have a discharge

resistor in their terminals so the discharge in the
capacitor can be avoided when an operator is han-
dling it.
This resistor must meet the standard UNE EN-

60831-1-2 in its 22th chapter for three-phase power
capacitors and the standard UNE-EN-61048-49
for lighting capacitors.
Dielectric

conditions or extreme temperatures, inadmissible
for the correct working of the capacitor, this volta- 3
ge limit can be overfilled. Thus, the dielectric can
be bored and an electric arc will be formed bet-
ween the plates.
The propylene film self-healing means that the

electric arc will not generate a short circuit, but
will evaporate the metal which surrounds the
breakthrough point. This way, the isolation bet-
ween plates is repaired in the latter breakthrough
point.
After this self-healing, the capacitor can work in

normal conditions, with a capacitance leak inferior
to 100 pF.

In RTR Energía S.L., during the quality control of the metallized propylene film, the breakdown
of the dielectric (propylene) is forced and the self-healing of it can be observed. In this photo-
graph the evaporated metal-coat and the still working capacitor can be seen.

Voltage influence in capacitors
CAPACITORS
DIRECT VOLTAGE
When a capacitor is connected to a continuous Charge process

voltage, Ucc, the current has a very high intensi-
ty and is limited by the ohmic resistance, which is Uc
tiny in the capacitor. When the voltage between
the plates of the capacitor increases, the current
gradually decreases.
wt
When the charging process is finished, the current Ic
intensity becomes zero. In continuous rating and
direct voltage, the capacitor behaves as an open
circuit.
During the discharge process of the capacitor, the

wt
voltage and the current decrease with the same
ratio, and so they become zero simultaneously.
The charge and discharge time is directly propor-

tional to capacitance and circuit resistance, and
so, when the resistance fluctuates the charge and
discharge process can be shortened or extended.
Discharge process
The time constant t, is the time needed by a capa-
citor to gain a 63% of the charge of the impressed
voltage, and is denoted as: Uc
τ=R·C
wt
R = Ohms ( Ω )
C = Farads (F)
Ic
In theory, the total capacitor’s charge or dischar-
ge is produced after an infinite interval of time, as
the mathematical function which defines it attains
the limit in an asymptotic way. But in practice, the
capacitor is charged or discharged in a 5-times in-
terval.
14
Voltage influence in capacitors
CAPACITORS
ALTERNATING VOLTAGE
When a capacitor is connected to an alternating

voltage, the plates are positively and negatively
charged, in an alternating and periodic way, with a
flow of alternating current.
The capacitor is periodically charged and dischar-

ged, and so the two processes are simultaneous, The complete charging and dischar-
because of the alternating current flowing through ging process is done in an electrical
the network. This periodical process provokes an voltage semi period. If the electrical
inversion in the direction of the current when this voltage’s period in Europe is 20 mili-
current’s value is zero. In the same way as in di- seconds, a capacitor will need half of
rect current, the capacitor acts as a finite resistan- this time for completing its charge or
ce, measured in ohms: discharge.
Tcharge and discharge = 10 ms

1 f = frequency (Hz)
XC = (Ω)

When the current’s value is zero, the charge pro-

cess in the capacitor is finished as it will be totally
charged at the end of the positive half-wave of the
current for a known value of voltage, +Uca, and at
the end of the negative half-wave with a voltage
value of -Uca.
The discharge process is produced when the cu-

rrent reaches its maximum value, therefore, the
voltage value tends to be zero.

Single-phase capacitors

Three-phase power capacitors
CAPACITORS
These capacitors are designed for being connec-
ted to a three-phase electric line, R-S-T, and the
way of connecting the capacitive elements (coils) R S T
in its interior is with two possibilities.
DELTA CONEXION
The total capacitance of the capacitor is divided

in three partial capacitances CD, as shown in the
diagram.
If the capacitance between two phases is taped,

for example R-S, the total capacitance will not be
the CD of the RS phases but the CD(RS) in para-
llel with the series connection CD(RT)-CD(ST) (see
section G), which means:

Combination of Capacitors

PARALLEL
In the parallel connection between capacitors, the C1

global equivalent capacitance is the sum of the ca-
pacitances. The same occurs with the total reacti-
ve energy. C2
CT = C1 + C2 + C3 + ... Cn
QT = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + ... Qn C3
The impressed voltage between the capacitor’s

plates is the one that can be allowed depending Cn
on the capacitor’s constructive characteristics. All
the capacitors are affected by the same voltage.
SERIES
When the working voltage, Uca, is higher than the

rated voltage on the manufactured capacitor, a
C1 C2 C3 Cn
group of capacitors can be connected in series.
In this case, every capacitor will have a different
voltage between plates, depending on its capaci-
tance and reactive power. As every series connec-
tion, the current flowing through them is the same
for every capacitor.
The inverse of the total capacitance (CT) is the

sum of the inverses of the different capacitances.

The reactive power (QT) has the same behaviour

reactives.

Leakage Capacitor’s Tangent
CAPACITORS
^
The leakage tangent of a capacitor (tan d ) is the
value that can define the quality and behaviour of
C
an electrical capacitor. The leakages in a capaci- I I
tor can be related and represented throughout the
losses of an ohmic resistance (R).
Considering an ideal capacitor, without losses, the

angle of phase difference j^ between the current Ic R Iactive
and the voltage Uca is 90º.
This is an ideal situation, but in fact every capaci-

U CA
tor has losses because of the propylene film, the
plates’ metallization, the solders, wires, etc.
Due to these losses, the angle of phase difference,

j,^ is not of 90º, and the voltage, Uca, is lagging with
respect to the active current, Iactive, and the new an-
^
gle formed is the loss angle, defined as j^ = 90º- d.
Its tangent is the leakage tangent of the capacitor.

Handling Precautions and Security
CAPACITORS
When handling a capacitor, there is a need of ta-

king into account a series of security precautions.
When a capacitor is disconnected off the voltage,
it remains charged with the supply voltage. If the
plates are shorten and touched, they can cause a
dangerous accident due to the violent discharge of
the capacitor.
The standards EN-61048 and EN-60252 establish

the need of the capacitors of having illumination
and a discharge resistor’s motor, so that when the
supply voltage is switched off, it must store a maxi-
mum voltage of 50V in an interval of 60 seconds.
In the same way, the three-phase capacitors must

be equipped with a snubber resistor, which can
discharge voltage until its maximum value is 75V
in an interval of 3 minutes, as it is stablished in the
annexe B of the standard EN-60831-1/2.
DISCONNECTION SYSTEM
Due to extreme and inadmissible operating con-

ditions of overvoltage, overcurrent or high tem-
peratures, RTR Energía S.L. has designed an
overpressure release system, which works by
unpacking the terminal covers, thus the terminal
connection with the capacitive element is interrup-
ted.
Under this conditions and seeking a right perfor-

mance of the release system, it is very important
that the resin of the enclosure is designed to avoid
that the metal fusion’s gases are entrapped. It
must allow these gases to rise, and so the system
will work accurately. Because of this, RTR Energía
S.L. has a Chemical division which develops and
manufactures the electrical resins, depending on
each of the applications.

Electric power
ACTIVE POWER (P)
Active power represents the real power, measured in watts (W). Thus, the amount of energy used when
an electric equipment is functioning and working, i.e. the energy given by a motor shaft when moving a
device, the energy given, in terms of heat, by an electric heater resistance, or the light given by a lamp,
etc.
Active power is also the hired power to the electric company, and can reach households, industries, offi-
ces or any other facility when it is needed, along the supply network. The global amount of power, used
by the totality of electric appliances is normally registered by counters or other electrical meters, which
are installed by the deliverer companies in order to measure the totality of electric energy consumed in
a particular period of time, specified in contracts.
REACTIVE POWER (Q)
Reactive power is the power consumed by motors, transformers or any other electric device including
any kind of coil, so that it creates an electromagnetic field. These coils are part of an electric circuit, and
in electric systems they constitute loads, consuming both active and reactive power. Their work efficien-
cy depends on their power factor; the lower it is (far-off unitiy) the bigger is the amount of reactive power
consumed. Besides, reactive power does not produce any effective power and produces a negative im-
pact on the energy transmission through the distributing electric lines, thus its consumption is penalized
throughout the tariff by the mains supply company. Reactive power is measured by volt-ampere reactive
(VAr), and its most frequent multiple is the kilovoltampere (kVAr).
APPARENT POWER (S)
Apparent power or gross power is, according to the Pythagoras theorem, is the active and reactive
power sum. These two components represent the total line input power, also the totality of the power
given by the electric generators in the set. This power is imparted along distribution cables, also lines,
reaching consumers in households, factories, industrial plants, etc. Apparent power is measured in volt-
ampere (VA).

POTENTIAL DROP GROWTH
Current flowing through an electric conductor produces a potential drop, which is defined by Ohm’s Law.
The current growth because of a low power factor will produce a bigger potential drop, causing an in-

GREENHOUSE EFFECT
GASES REDUCTION
Considering an amount of daily los-

ses in electrical distribution ciphered
in 8850 kWh and a CO2 emission in
electrical production of 400 g/kWh,
3,5 tons of CO2 are emitted daily
to the atmosphere in Spain. This
quantity represents the 1,25% of the
annual electric energy generation
emissions.
Reactive energy compensation

would reduce in 1,36 tons of carbon
dioxide emitted to the atmosphere,
which means nearly 500 tons per
year.

Reactive Energy Compensation’s Benefits
POTENTIAL DROP DECREMENT ON DISTRIBUTION

LINES
The current must overcome the conductor’s electric impedance (Z)

while the electric energy is being transported, therefore a potential
drop is produced.
Potential drop can be determined by Ohm’s law, and is the product

of current and resistance. If the value of the demanded current is
substituted by its equivalent in terms of line power, the following
expression is obtained:

CAPACITY GAIN ON THE ELECTRIC LINE
If the power factor were compensated, part of the extra power, produced in order to reduce losses, could
be used in the electrical provided consumption. Checking out the consumption and losses profiles, the
Spanish National Electrical Distributor could gain a 0,5% in capacity, enough energy for more than a
twoyear Ceuta and Melilla supply.

Reactive power compensation is good not only
as a technical advantage but also as an eco-

Since January 2012, companies in Spain with

an electrical contract of 15kW or more (basica-
lly, every commercial enterprise from a small
store up to a big industry) can be suffering
bursts in their billing, because of a legal chan-

which tries to actuate on energetic efficiency
throughout a more responsible use of energy

Reactive energy compensation is achieved by

the installation, in electric lines, of capacitor
banks, which can generate capacitive loads, so
that reactive losses in the wiring are reduced.
With these new rates, any industrial plant which

has basic equipment, such as furnaces or fluo-
rescent lamps (see charts in section A), can
suffer charge build-ups due to reactive energy.
This amendment means to users which, until

now did not pay any reactive energy consump-
tion, are suffering, since January 2010, a burst
on their electrical billing.

Configurations for Reactive Energy
Compensation
INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION
Individual compensation is used in continuous working cycle equipments, where reactive consumption
is significant, mainly in electric motors and transformers. The capacitor is installed in every single load,
so the only conductors affected by the reactive energy are those who are uniting load and capacitor. This
configuration has, on the one hand, the following advantages:
• Reactive energy is confined between load and capacitor. Therefore, the remaining lines are free from
this reactive energy.
• The capacitor is switched on only when there is a connected load, as the starter functions as the
capacitor’s switch so no other control system is needed.
On the other hand, this configuration has the following disadvantages:

• Individual capacitor’s price is higher than that of an equivalent capacitor on its own.
• Capacitor’s are under-used when an individual load remains idle for a long period of time.
This fixed-compensation configuration has to be studied carefully when any of the following highlighted
cases: in asynchronous motor’s compensation and power transformers (see section G).

GROUP COMPENSATION
The group-compensation configuration is sugges-

constant amount of reactive energy.

llowing advantages:
• The capacitors bank can be put in where motors Circuit

• Capacitors are only used when the loads are

• It has a lower set-up cost.
• Reactive power is totally removed from distribu-
tion lines. LOAD LOAD
There is, on the other hand, a disadvantage on

the main power lead: there is still reactive power
remaining between loads and the motors control

CENTRALIZED COMPENSATION
The total capacitor’s bank power is installed (put

in) on the tapping, next to the energy feedboards.
The total bank power is divided between a num-
ber of packs or steps, put through with an auto-
matic controller which can switch them on and off
when wanted, depending on the instant reactive
consumption. This configuration has, on the one
hand, the following advantages: kVA
• More efficient use of capacitor’s capacity.

• Better voltage regulation in electric systems.
• Bank’s power output adjusts according to any gi-
ven instant requirement
On the other hand, the shortcoming of this confi- X/5 TI
guration is that power distribution lines are not re-

lieved from reactive power, and still an automatic
controller is needed in the setup.

ASYCHRONOUS THREE-PHASE
MOTOR’S DIRECT STARTING
When compensating individual asynchronous mo-

tors, care must be taken in order to avoid self-exci-
tation appearance. Self-excitation begins when the
motor is turned off, as it remains spinning because
of the inertia, until it finally stops. When the feed
is cut out, if the compensation has been done on
the motor’s terminals then the capacitor’s capaciti-
ve currents on the stator will generate a magnetic
field on the rotor in the same direction as the de-
creasing magnetic field. Thus, the motor will work
as a generator, and this will cause overvoltages in
the motor terminals.
There are two possible solutions in order to avoid

self-excitation appearance:
• Capacitor’s capacitive currents can be limited Qcompensation = P · ( tanφi - tanφf )

through the capacitor bank power’s limitation so
that they are lower than the motor’s void current Qcompensation ≤ Qlímite
(EN60831-1 standard advices that void current
should never be higher than the 90% reactive
Qlimit = 0.9 √3·Un · I0 ó
void motor’s power).
• Compensation can be done in terminals throug-
hout a contactor. This way, when the motor is Qlímit = 2·P ( 1- cosφinitial )
turned off from the feed, capacitors will remain
insulated from the motor terminals.
In practice we can consider:

If the motor is fitted with a wye-delta starter, the
capacitor’s connection will be done with connec-

the motor has finished its start (wye) and has
achieved a continuous rating.
Using this starting method avoids overcurrents

Quality, Installation and Protection
RTR Energía S.L. power capacitors are manufactured under a strict Quality Control that verifies the
capacitor’s correct working in every production line. In order to obtain the best capacitor’s performance
it is very convenient to follow the installation suggestions, supplied with every capacitor.
SWITCHGEARS
They should be, preferably suitable for sudden breakdown, and dimensioned for a 1.6 to 2 times the
rated capacitor’s current.
FUSES
As switchgears, they should be suitable for sudden breakdown and able to manage the high charge and
discharge current capacitor’s values. So, their calibration must be done between 1.6 and 2 times the
capacitor’s rated one.
CONDUCTORS
For the same reasons as exposited before, the minimum wire section must be 1.8 times bigger than that
used for rate current.
TEMPERATURE
Ambient temperature for a satisfactory capacitors working should be within -25º C and 55º C. Because
of this, if there were reactances placed in the setup, capacitors should be located below them, in venti-
lated and air-conditioned areas if needed.

COMPENSATION
Case Study: Commercial Establishment
An example of a real-life case of power factor com-
pensation in a hostelry-place is presented here. The
installation has a 40 kW demand and a monthly bill of
€1468,66 of the consumed energy plus 420,42 of reac-
tive energy. Therefore, if reactive energy is compensa-
ted, the billing will be reduced in a 28%.
The power consumption statistics shown below divides

the customer’s power bill in 6 day-intervals. For each
period, the active and reactive powers and the peak de-
mand (peak demand meter reading) are shown.

COMPENSATION
Conclusions
Reactive power compensation offers the following advantages:
INCREASE OF ENERGY USAGE EFFICIENCY by reducing transport losses. When losses are redu-
ced, there is no need of producing an extra amount of energy, in order to compensate these losses.
Thus, the greenhouse gasses emitted when electric energy is generated are also reduced.
INCREASE OF THE NATIONAL GRID’S CAPACITY, since the energy, generated as an extra due to
compensate losses can be used as consumption energy. Based on power consumption and losses
statistics, the Spanish National Grid’s capacity would increase by 0.5%, energy enough to supply, for
example, more than twice the yearly consumption of Ceuta and Melilla.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE INSTALLATION DESIGN as the increment of the conductor’s size is preven-
ted even though the current is increasing. Therefore, resources such as copper, which has an important
influence in the installation’s budgets, are used in a more efficient way.
INCREASE OF THE ELECTRICAL MACHINE’S DURABILITY. The reactive energy removal provokes
a current’s growth, which is responsible for a reduction of the power appliances useful lifes.
INCREASE OF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY QUALITY by reducing the increment in power drops
during its transport. This voltage drop is responsible for the decreased output power in loads, such as
motors, lamps, etc.
ECONOMICAL SAVING in electrical billing, obtained by removing the reactive energy consumption
penalties. This penalties may nowadays mean a 30% of the total power bill.

Quality of Electric Energy
HARMONICS
The basic fundamental parameters which define

an electrical energy supply are: supply voltage (U) Negative quality aspects of the electri-
and current (I). cal supply, as established in the standard
EN-UNE-60150:1996, are:

50Hz, considering this as low voltage up to 1000V.
From 1000V up to 25 kilovolts (kV) it is considered
as medium voltage, which depends on the areas
and the supply companies.
Finally, values over 25 kV are considered high voltage, and it is used basically for transporting electrical
energy in large distances.
Actually, QUALITY (correct energy supply) and ELECTRIC ENERGY EFFICIENCY (obtaining the
maximum yield out of it) concepts must be unified. Because of this, the maximum consumption of
energy must be optimized, as well as its transport and use. This will grant the correct running of the
electrical equipment.
The most important characteristic in quality and energetic efficiency is that of generating and trans-
porting the maximum amount of active energy, which produces effective power. This compensates the
oscillating energy loads, as well as the nonproductive ones, as reactive energy (see chapter of reac-
tive energy compensation) or distortion energy, produced by some of the electrical appliances with
nonlinear components, such as non-filtered reactances, speed shifters, rectifiers or electronic starters,
among many other.

UNBALANCED THREE-PHASE POWER
SYSTEM
Unbalanced three-phase system
The voltage or current three-phase system is perfectly ba-
lanced when its three phases (R, S and T) have a 120º
angular displacement between them, and when its vector
modulus have the same value.
If the system is unbalanced, it can occur that the modulus of each of the different phases are different,
or that the phase shift between two of the vectors is not the usual value of 120º. Furthermore, these two
things can happen simultaneously.
Displaying a three-phase system this way, either balanced or unbalanced is valid if the system has three
wires or four, including the neutral wire.
The unbalanced systems must not exceed the following values:
Current < 10%

Voltage < 3%
When the system is unbalanced, the current through the neutral wire increases.

Harmonics
HARMONICS
Harmonic voltage is defined by the standard

UNEEN-60150:1996 as “a sinusoidal voltage,
where the frequency is an integer multiple of the
system’s supply voltage fundamental frequency”.
Fourier, a French mathematician, defined this

phenomenon by the following assertion: “any pe-
riodic signal, no matter its complexity, can be split
in a number of signals, and the sum of these sig-
nals will have a frequency which will be a multiple
of the fundamental or reference frequency”
After analysing this phenomenon, the conclusion

in RTR ENRGIA S.L. is that this is the most accu-
rate definition for a harmonic, though the Fourier’s Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier,
mathematic series expansion is not going to be French mathematician (1768 -1830)
studied here, as it is not part of the purpose of this

handbook.

Among many others, the main causes of the harmonic distortionεare the following.
• Electromagnetic and electronic lighting ballasts Unbalanced three-phase system

• Electric welding equipment
• Single-phase network connected electronic equipment
• Electromagnetic reactance for discharge lamps
• Electronic starter
• Speed shifters
HARMONICS EFFECTS ON ELECTRICAL NETWORK
• Increase of transported power, worsening the network power factor

• Automatic switch untimely drop-out
• Conductors overloads
• Vibrations and overloads in machinery
• Establishment of instabilities in electrical systems
• Wrong operation of protective relays
• Capacitors’ impedance fall-off ( Xc ) = 1/• · C. This may produce a failure in the automatic regulated ba-
ttery, which is installed in order to rectify the power factor when the resonant phenomenon appears
(XL=Xc). This situation is explained in detail in section D.
• Wrong measures in measurement apparatus
• Noises in control equipment
The electrical companies analyse the penalties to be applied to industrial installations which generate
harmonics, as well as to the ones which generate reactive energy.

The amplitude of the fundamental wave is three ti-

The 3rd harmonic has a special feature: its frequen-

cy is an electrical multiple of the fundamental fre-
quency, and has a null sequence, so that in a three-
phase 4wire system (R, S, T and N) there is a mesh
entering with the three phases (R, S and T) while The third harmonic has a frequency
three times higher (points

there is a shift along the discharged wire (N). This

As it was previously mentioned, the amplitude of the
fundamental wave is five times the 5th harmonic,
and both of them have the peak value in the same

In contrast to the 3rd harmonic, the 5th harmonic is

NOT an electrical multiple of the fundamental wave, The fifth harmonic has a frequency
so the frequency shift will be through the phases R, five times higher (points 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)

affects the capacitors and the three-phase system,
as well as the harmonics 7, 11, etc.
In RTR ENERGIA S.L., these two harmonic distortions (3rd and 5th) are the most important ones when
determining the power factor correction in industrial facilities, since the capacitors must be installed
forming passive filters (L-C) as it is explained in section D.

Reactive Energy Compensation
HARMONICS
in Harmonic Distorted Networks

In a complex circuit, as the one shown in the image below and the usual ones in almost any industrial
facilities, there are commonly different kinds of loads (as linear or non-linear) which can appear, as well
as a capacitors’ bank for compensating the power factor of the mounting.

If there is a possibility of harmonic distortion presence in the electrical network of the facility, an analysis
of the electrical network must be made with a properly calibrated network analyser.
RTR Energía S.L. performs this sort of network analyses with properly calibrated equipment when their
clients ask for it.
Once completed these network analyses, which must last for approximately 4 or 5 days including a
weekend, the necessary data will be obtained in order to diagnose the electrical requirements of the
mounting.
• Supply voltage “Uca”

• Electric current “Ica”
• Frequency
• Power in the installation
• Power factor
• Capacitive energy demanded by the installation
• Current in the discharged wire
• Unbalance in the mounting because of consumption
• THDU since the 3th, 5th, 7th… harmonic (total and for each of the harmonics)
• THDI since the 3th, 5th, 7th… harmonic (total and for each of the harmonics)
• The predominant harmonic in the network both in voltage and current.
Sometimes, in order to check the harmonics presence in the mounting, performing an analysis for a brief
period of time is enough to decide the best capacitors’ bank for the installation.
Following there are some examples shown:

Harmonic distortions spectrum in voltage (THDU) and current (THDI) are obtained by a network

the chosen solution for the set up of the bank of capacitors due to compensate de reactive
energy was the placing of passive filtering with an overvoltage of 14%.
In such case, it can be clearly noticed the presence of harmonic distortion,

In this case, the harmonic distortion spectrum in voltage (THDU) and current (THDI) is plotted bet-
ween the acceptable limits, so the capacitor bank installed can be an RTF with reinforced capaci-
tors from the RTR Energía S.L. catalogue, or even for a passive filter set up with an overload factor
of 7%. In order to make the correct decision, the network analyses must include a wide range of
time so that the evolution of the harmonic content can be verified.

Both of the impedances depend on the frequency (f), but XL has a direct proportionality with the frequen-
cy, while XC is inversely proportional to the frequency. So, when there is a raise in the frequency, the
value of the impedance XC decreases while XL increases.

Parallel Resonance
Resonance is produced in a parallel circuit when the resultant current and the line voltage are in-phase.
When with a specific value of resonance frequency in the parallel L-C circuit, as wR=150 Hz (frequency
on the 5th harmonic), this circuit is inductive (w<wR) the current is delayed so voltage will lead current. If
the circuit is capacitive (w>wR), current will lead voltage.
In an L-C circuit, the resultant current of the windings (L, etc.) is the same value as the current of the
capacitors (C, etc.) but with the opposite sign, so both the algebraic and vector addition have as a result
the maximum value of the impedance and a null value of the resultant current (the opposite results of a
series circuit).
In this situation, the current in both L-C branches is extremely high which is hazardous for the capacitor
as the XC value is the lowest of the whole circuit.

1. General information for MV capacitors
1.1 Total film dielectric
RTR Capacitors have a dielectric constituted in general by

three polypropylene films “hazy”, rough in both faces, of high
purity. This construction, instead of which it uses only two
layers of a rough film in a single one of his faces, common in
other manufacturers, confers to RTR Capacitors greater secu-
rity of operation and greater life utility. The rough of both faces
of polypropylene is a condition indispensable for the complete
impregnating of the film during the process and, therefore, for
the stability of the capacitor in the long term.
1.2 Impregnating biodegradable
RTR Capacitors use exclusive impregnating the nonchlorina-

ted MDBT, developed for the most demanding applications by
Elf-Atochem(France). This it is characterized by his high flash
point, great capacity of gas absorption derived from the internal
electrical unloadings, and total environmental compatibility (biodegradable).
1.3 Construction with folio extended and wild fold
RTR Capacitors is constituted by elementary units, each one of them consisting of aluminum folio windings of high purity
and polypropylene films. The aluminum laminae excel towards the ends of the coil, and their edges are folded forming a ring
anticrown that confers to the condenser a tension of insepción ofpartial unloadings superior to 50% of the nominal value. The
laminae are welded to each other and with the next coils by means of special alloys of great adhesion and low point of fusion.
This way the use of “abatis”, characteristic of the previous designs is avoided.
1.4 Under stress
RTR Energía S.L. uses conservative criteria of design that imply the application of dielectric efforts (kV/ mm) relatively low on
the materials. Like consequence, the capacitors are of dimensions somewhat greater than those of other marks, with an expec-
tation of greater life utility.
1.5 Inner fuses
RTR Energía S.L. incorporates to a great part of their range of MV. capacitors (specially for the greater powers) with the option
of individual inner fuses by coil, of new design. Such they allow to isolate the possible failure of anyone of the elements of the
capacitor and other elements can still work in normal condition. The fuses are separated to each other, so that it is impossible
that the performance of one of them causes the catuación of the fuse next to. In addition, the condensers with internal fuses
allow simpler, light and economic constructions.
1.6 Dielectric low losses
The characteristics of their design, the rigorous selection of the manufacture materials and the artisan care put in their construc-
tion and process give like result capacitors of low losses, which is translated in smaller this form and operating temperatures, a
greater life utility.
