Scope of Application
The self-healing low-voltage shunt power capacitor is suitable for 50 Hz or 60 Hz low-voltage power systems, mainly used to improve power factor, reduce reactive power losses, improve voltage quality and release transformer capacity. It is a highly recommended energy-saving product. The product complies with national standard GB/T12747-2004 and IEC60831-1996. The BSMJ self-healing low-voltage shunt power capacitor adopts a metallized polypropylene film self-healing structure and is used for reactive power compensation in 50 Hz/60 Hz low-voltage power systems.
Type Designation

Structural Features
Compact, lightweight, easy to install
Using high-quality metallized polypropylene film as the dielectric together with a unique structural design, the capacitor has only 1/4 of the volume and 1/5 of the weight of older products;
Low loss, low heat generation, low temperature rise
The new spray-metallizing process and the uniquely thickened metallized film edges greatly enhance the inrush-current withstand, stabilize performance and greatly extend service life; the capacitor's own loss is reduced, with an actual value below 0.08%, giving low heat, low temperature rise and excellent energy saving. The BSMJ self-healing low-voltage shunt power capacitor has built-in self-discharge resistors and an overpressure protection device, and its case is treated with double-sided anti-corrosion, suitable for reactive power compensation and power factor improvement in low-voltage distribution systems.
Excellent self-healing performance
Local dielectric breakdown self-heals rapidly and normal operation resumes, greatly improving reliability;
Safety
Built-in discharge resistors and protective devices ensure safe and reliable use;
Leak-free and environmentally friendly: microcrystalline wax is used as the impregnating agent, solid at room temperature with a melting point above 70℃; no oil leakage occurs during operation, avoiding environmental pollution. It has both the structural features of a dry-type capacitor and the advantages of an impregnated one. In addition, the unique impregnation process makes operation more reliable;
Corrosion-resistant anti-counterfeit case: the printed-tin case undergoes special double anti-corrosion treatment, greatly improving corrosion resistance, with a unique anti-counterfeit design, fine and elegant. When selecting the BSMJ self-healing low-voltage shunt power capacitor, use a controller with re-closing lockout to ensure re-energization only after the residual voltage drops below 10% of rated voltage.
Service Conditions
After the capacitor is disconnected from the supply, the residual voltage must drop to 10% of rated voltage before re-energization; this usually takes about 200 s, so the controller should have a re-closing lockout time function after disconnection. If an ordinary controller is used, a fast discharge device must be installed additionally; switches with equipotential switching are not subject to this limit. Altitude not exceeding 2000 m. Temperature category -25℃: minimum temperature -25℃, C class maximum (not exceeding 50℃, 24-h average not exceeding 40℃, annual average not exceeding 30℃). The capacitor must operate in well-ventilated conditions and must not be used in enclosed, unventilated environments.
