The

 

measured

 

current

 

of

 

a

 

newly

 

connected

 

capacitor

 

is

 

much

 

smaller

 

than

 

the

 

rated

 

current

 

on

 

its

 

nameplate

 (

same

 

for

 

multiple

 

capacitors

).

If

 

a

 

capacitor

 

with

 

higher

 

rated

 

voltage

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

380V

 

grid

the

 

actual

 

output

 

current

 

will

 

be

 

much

 

smaller

which

 

is

 

normal

There

 

is

 

nothing

 

wrong

 

with

 

the

 

capacitor

it

 

is

 

just

 

derated

.

User

 

should

 

determine

 

the

 

status

 

of

 

a

 

capacitor

 

based

 

on

 

its

 

measured

 

capacitance

The

 

current

 

of

 

the

 

capacitor

 

is

 

closed

 

to

 

rated

 

current

 

when

 

it

 

is

 

first

 

put

 

into

 

operation

but

 

the

 

current

 

drops

 

after

 

a

 

period

 

of

 

time

The

 

current

 

drops

 

as

 

the

 

capacitance

 

value

 

of

 

the

 

capacitance

 

decreases

There

 

are

 

several

 

reasons

 

for

 

capacitance

 

decrease

 

such

 

as

 

improper

 

use

large

 

harmonic

 

or

 

quality

 

defect

.

Find

 

out

 

the

 

reason

 

and

 

solve

 

the

 

problem

User

 

must

 

replace

 

the

 

capacitor

 

if

 

the

 

capacitance

 

value

 

drops
