Important notes at the end of this document.

In order to exclude impermissible temperatures and thus overload of the insulation system, the

following cautions must additionally be observed:

 Only those protective devices specified on the type plates, such as fuses and motor protection

switches, may be used. It is mandatory to observe the set values specified for the motor protection

switches. Any temperature- sensitive protective devices such as temperature switches and

temperature sensors must be connected in accordance with the installation instructions.

 High temperatures are permissible for the surfaces under rated operating conditions, and

especially in the event of overload. Depending on the temperature class and type of loading, these

may attain values of up to 260 °C and may also affect adjacent components which have been

packed too densely.

 The insertion position should be selected so that any cooling ducts present within the winding are

arranged vertically and that the current of cooling air is not impeded by adjacent components,

connecting leads etc.

 The maximum voltage of the insulating system specified on the type plate must not be exceeded.

Noncompliance with these instructions may lead to considerable damage to equipment or fire due

to impermissibly high temperatures.

 We strongly recommend to make use of the integrated temperature switch (NC). It will open when

the maximum operation temperature for the reactor is reached. Note: This switch is a warning

device only. It will not disconnect the reactor. Overheating may lead to failure of the device and

subsequently to severe damage to the equipment and/or serious injury or death of human beings.

Note

Please read cautions information about PFC capacitors and cautions as well as installation and

maintenance instructions in the actual version of the Product Profile Power Factor Correction to

ensure optimum performance and prevent products from failing, and in worst case, bursting and fire,

etc. The actual Product Profile is available at www.epcos.com/publications.

Information given in the PFC-product profile and values given in the data sheet reflect typical

specifications. You are kindly requested to approve our product specifications or request our approval

for your specification before ordering.
