Ordering code B44066R6106R230N1

The ordering code for one and the same EPCOS product can be represented differently in data sheets, data books, other publications, on the EPCOS website, or in order-related documents such as shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of the ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the specifications of the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet under www.epcos.com/orderingcodes

  • Controller hunting: - When putting the capacitor bank into operation, it is required to avoid needless switching cycles (means permanent switching on and off of steps without significant change of consumer load). This so called “controller hunting“ would increase the number of switching operations of the connected contactors and capacitors and decrease the expected life cycle (wear out) and, in worst case, capacitor bursting and fire, etc . This can be avoided by a proper programming of the BR6000 with the actual system parameters (current transformer prim. and sec., first kvar step, control series, switching time).
  • Please read cautions information about PFC capacitors and cautions as well as installation and maintenance instructions in the actual version of the Product Profile Power Factor Correction to ensure optimum performance and prevent products from failing, and in worst case, bursting and fire, etc. The actual Product Profile is available at www.epcos.com/publications.
