Type GEM ® capacitors feature multiple cells, which are assembled in parallel in an enclosure suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications (NEMA 12 and NEMA 3). Each 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 reduces energy losses. GEM capacitors include discharge resistors to reduce voltage to 50 volts or less within one minute of de-energization. GEM also features Dielektrol ® impregnant which is a biodegradable Class IIIB combustible fluid. These film/foil capacitors are typically used to replace PCB type capacitors in existing capacitor equipment. All low-voltage capacitors available feature the exclusive GE DIELEKTROL ® non-PCB impregnant, providing an environmentally acceptable substitute for Askarel with equivalent or superior product performance. Significant user benefits include low power losses, maintenance of kVAR at elevated temperatures and long life. These capacitors include discharge resistors to reduce voltage to 50 volts or less within one minute of de-energization. Protection is provided by externally connected fuses. Manufactured in accordance with ANSI/IEE Std-18 and NEMA CP-1.
