SERIES FEATURES
The standard enclosure for our R400 Pumpjack capacitor is a type 3R galvanized wall mount, with floor mount brackets available on request. Standard enclosure dimensions are shown in R400 Drawing. Custom dimensions are available on request.
The R400 is complete with a 1524mm (5 feet) SOW cord, and a 5 minute warning label per C.E.C. standards.
SERIES COMPARISON: THE R400 vs The R500
The R400 series is our line of pumpjack capacitors, where a 480V capacitor is in a 3R enclosure, complete with a 5 foot (1524mm) SOW cord. The R500 is our standard packaged capacitor – an enclosed capacitor bank. The R500 is complete with either a terminal block or wire nuts, instead of the SOW cord included with the R400.
The R400 pumpjack capacitor is used in 480V applications, while the R500 is used in any low voltage application, from 208V to 999V.
All series include a 5 minute warning label per C.E.C. standards.
