Installation Instructions for Traymount® Brand Capacitors

GENERAL
All Myron Zucker, Inc. Traymount^® brand capacitors are made with state-of-the-art metallized cells designed for low electrical loss and long life. All wiring, connectors and other components are top quality. To ensure that you obtain satisfactory service from your Traymount^® brand capacitor, please follow these installation instructions.

Where to connect capacitors:
Traymount^® brand capacitors can be connected either at the load (Circuit 1), or on the line of a motor controller (Circuit 2). In either case, the capacitor must be connected through the motor disconnect device and must have overcurrent protection. Avoid locations with harmonic voltages or currents.
CAUTION: Power factor correction capacitors alone are not for use in systems where harmonic currents can overload a capacitor with excess current and/or heat. Any warranty claims will not be covered if capacitors are exposed to harmonic currents. Contact Myron Zucker, Inc. for products that can be used in the presence of harmonics.

1. Mount warning lights in door or other appropriate place using diagram:



2. Suggested warning light configuration:



3. Blown fuse lights should be wired as shown:



4. Select proper wire size: CAUTION: Use copper conductors only. Unit terminals are not designed to accept other type wiring. The use of aluminum wiring may cause galvanic corrosion and/or overheating at the connection points with resultant equipment failure.

5. Attach wires to capacitors. Electrical connections to Traymount^® brand capacitors are made either to fuse blocks, terminal blocks, or distribution blocks. Use compression lugs on wires to fuse blocks. Connect a single-phase wire to each terminal, and be sure to attach a grounding wire to ground lug. On trays with multiple units, each capacitor is wired to a separate fuse block.
