Protection for motor and transformer windings

Steep fronted waves (lightning or switching surges) can cause damage to the turn-to-turn insulation of rotary machines and transformers. Hitachi Energy surge capacitors provide premium surge protection for high voltage motors and generators. For a more comprehensive protection scheme, surge capacitors may be used in conjunction with surge arresters.
 

Applications

  • Protection of motor windings
  • Protection of transformer windings

Why Hitachi Energy?

  • High transient voltage withstand
  • Long life design 
  • Low loss dielectric
  • Rugged construction
