Ventilation system
All APCQ capacitor banks are air forced ventilated IP23 (IP54 available as an option).
-L
-M & APCQ-R
IP23: 2 x 240 m³/h (hot air out)
IP54: 1 x 520 m³/h (fresh air in
– door bottom) + 1 x 520
m³/h (hot air out – door top)
As a matter of protection, the bank does not operate as long as the ventilation circuit is not fed or when thermal cutoff
switch trips.
