Surge Capacitors
Specialty Capacitors
Type 2GUS
Surge capacitors are designed to modify the steep
fronted waves and prevent damage to the turn-to-
turn insulation of rotating machines and transformers.
It is advisable to use surge arresters together with
the surge capacitor units to form a comprehensive
protective package (please contact your ABB sales
representative for further information). Standard rat-
ings and dimensions are shown here; however, special
requirements can be accommodated on an extended
lead-time.
The 2GUS capacitors are built for the most demanding
conditions and offer:
High transient voltage withstand
Long life design
Low loss dielectric
Rugged construction
STANDARD FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS
