Fixing threaded bottom stud

The threaded mounting stud is at the bottom of the capacitor:

Fixing

The threaded bottom stud must be fastened with certain specified torques:

• PhaseCap, PhaseCap Compact, PhaseCap , PhaseCap HD, DeltaCap:
M12 bottom stud: torque 10 Nm.

• PhiCap:
M12 bottom stud for diameters > 53 mm: torque 10 Nm
M 8 bottom stud for diameters ± 53 mm: torque 4 Nm
