These low voltage GEM ® type capacitors are designed primarily for the motor requirements of oil field and other pumping installations. Their application, however, may be extended to other motor applications installed indoor or outdoor. Type GEM ® OFW capacitors feature multiple cells which are assembled in parallel in a NEMA 3 enclosure. Each capacitor cell features the patented GE Pressure Sensitive Interrupter (PSI) that protects against cell rupture. The metallized polypropylene film dielectric system provides an instantaneous self-healing action and greatly reduced energy losses.Discharge resistors are included to reduce voltage to 50 volts or less within one minute of de-energization. A 4 ft., 4-conductor flexible cable with watertight connector is provided for easy installation. Type GEM ® capacitors offer high reliability and long life. They are suitable for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to +46°C. GEM ® also features Dielektrol impregnant which is a biodegradable Class IIIB combustible fluid. They are available in 240 & 480V up to 30 kVAR.
