Split Phase
Economical Alternative To Two Single-phase Capacitors
General Operating Conditions
The ABB split-phase capacitor unit type CHD combines two Temperature range -10/+50oC
capacitors in a single housing. The split-phase capacitor units Location Outdoor or indoor
provide an economical double star (Y-Y) unbalance detection Altitude ≤ 1000m above sea level
scheme using only three units, compared with conventional
designs using six units. This is particularly advantageous in low Capacitor Container
power capacitor banks in Fixed, Enclosed and Pole Mount
capacitor applications. The capacitor unit has three bushings Material Stainless steel, 304 high-grade
consisting of one common terminal and two capacitor output Colour Storm grey N42 (AS 2700)
terminals. Finish Matt
Fixing brackets One or two per side
The split-phase capacitor can be used in applications as an
economic alternative. Three units can be used in a two-stage Terminations
switched system, providing an economical and space saving
alternative to utilizing six conventional capacitors. Alternatively, it Bushings Grey porcelain, three
can be used as a dual tap capacitor or as a redundancy in critical Terminals M16 x 3
applications. Clamps Nickel-coated brass, ≤. 2x70mm2
Fixing Two 11x16mm holes, 397mm centres
The split-phase capacitors are supplied unfused as standard.
Internally fused designs are available upon request. Dimensions and Data (typical)
The split-phase capacitor has two sections with a common Unit rating > 3.3kV Unit rating ≤ 3.3kV
terminal. Each section is sized evenly as standard, however they
can be sized unevenly upon request.
