General Hydra capacitors for fluorescent and gas discharge lamps are selfhealing capacitors provided with overpressure disconnectors (Type B according to EN 61048) that are used for series and parallel compensation. Hydra capacitors for series and parallel compensation are available for the following rated voltages and temperature ranges: Capacitors for parallel compensation 250 V; 50/60 Hz; - 40°C ... + 85°C / 100°C Capacitors for series compensation 480 V; 50/60 Hz; - 25°C ... + 100°C 500 V; 50/60 Hz; - 25°C ... + 85 °C Safety Capacitors can fail under extreme operating conditions as well as after reaching the end of the lifetime. Hydra capacitors for series and parallel compensation are manufactured with integrated overpressure disconnector. In case of destruction, a gas generation and an increase in temperature inside of the capacitor effect an internal pressure rise. The capacitor will expand in the axial direction up to about 9 mm. Due to the expansion, the thinner section of the fuse will breake and the capacitor will be disconnected safely from the mains. Hydra capacitors are certified by the VDE Testing and Certification Institute and fulfill the safety regulations of EN 61048/49 regarding flame and burst proof capacitors
