Before servicing, disconnect all power
sources and allow at least 30 minutes
for capacitors to discharge.
•
All electrical enclosures—unit or remote
—are IP2X.
Simultaneously disconnect capacitors and load from
line power. If the capacitors are not switched offline
when the load is disconnected, they continue to add
capacitance to the electrical distribution system. A
leading power factor—too much capacitance—may
eventually develop. This overprotection causes poor
voltage regulation (i.e., voltage is high when the circuit
is unloaded, then drops as loads are added).

Circuit
Size motor overload protection to account for
capacitor-supplied current. Overloads are typically set
to measure the total current drawn by the motor. When
PFCCs are used, they become the source of part of that
current. If the current they provide is not registered by
the overload protectors, potentially damaging
amperage can reach the motor. The simplest way to
ensure that the overloads detect all current supplied to

the motor is to position the PFCCs upstream of the
current transformers as shown in the preceding figure
(Option 1). If the capacitor connection points are
downstream of the current transformers, route the
PFCC leads through the current transformers as shown
in the preceding figure (Option 2). This ensures that the
overloads register both line and capacitor-supplied
current.
