The true knowledge in practice, no matter what kind of power capacitor product of a certain brand is currently blowing up on the internet, it is not as good as one's own actual evaluation.
How to actually determine whether the compensating capacitor product you are using is worth repurchasing? Is the quality good? You can evaluate from the following aspects. Let's take a look!
Methods for evaluating compensating power capacitors
1. Check the compensation effect of compensating power capacitors
Why do companies use power capacitors for reactive power compensation? In order to increase the power factor to the specified value and ensure that fines are not forcibly adjusted, it is best to have rewards.
Therefore, the most important criterion for determining the quality of compensating power capacitors is whether the actual compensation effect after use meets expectations.
On the premise of ensuring correct selection and parameter matching, the compensation capacitor used can easily achieve the specified power factor value, proving that the capacitor quality is good.
2. Quality of operational status
Compensating power capacitors are excellent capacitor products that can ensure safe and stable operation. In actual use, whether the operation status of electricity is normal, whether faults frequently occur, and whether there are safety risks are key factors in judging the quality of capacitors.
If a set of capacitors experiences malfunctions such as bloating or oil leakage shortly after use, or if the temperature of the capacitor casing is abnormal and there is a fire, it is not recommended to choose capacitors with explosion hazards again.
3. Has the previous issue been properly resolved
Generally speaking, companies choose to replace compensating power capacitors because there were problems with the previous capacitor compensation. Whether there are still common faults when using existing power capacitors is also an important component in determining their quality.
4. Does the actual service life meet expectations
Compensating power capacitors are not reliable capacitor products even if they do not have serious faults. They can experience severe attenuation within a few months or one to two years and cannot continue to be used. High quality capacitors can generally be used for more than ten years under standard operating conditions.
