Safety Considerations:
Installing and servicing capacitor equipment can be hazardous. Only trained personnel
should install and service power factor correction capacitors.
Observe precautions in the literature, on tags, and on labels attached to the unit.
Follow all safety codes such as Lock-out/Tag-out procedures, Arc Flash safety, etc.
Wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, work
gloves, cotton clothing, etc. as required by local code and safety procedures.
Warnings and Cautions:
Failure to read these instructions and failure to install the equipment per instructions
may cause equipment damage and may void the warranty.
Care should be taken in keeping the inside of enclosures clear of any debris,
metalworking by-
products or electrician’s tools.
It is recommended that incoming power be disconnected at the source before making
any electrical or mechanical connections, changes or hands-on inspections.
To de-energize capacitor cells, wait one minute after disconnecting the unit from the
primary circuit to allow capacitor discharge resistors to reduce capacitor voltage to less
than 50 volts (National Electrical Code, Article 460-6 requirement).
