c. When the transformer is in empty load, the capacitor should be guaranteed to exit from the operation to prevent excessive compensation.
5.2.4 To ensure proper use of the capacitor, there should be short circuit, over-voltage, over-current protection and limiting inrush device
in the capacitor circuit (such as series reactor or CJ19 special switch contacts).
5.2.5 The capacitor is disconnected from the power supply and must be short-circuited discharged, and then can be touched or tested.
5.2.6 The capacitor terminals and conductors should be well connected. Current-carrying capacity of the connecting wire is 1.43
times higher than the rated current of the capacitor.

5.2.7 A distance of 20mm or more between the top of the capacitor and other components should be kept to ensure reliable
operation of over-pressure protection device. The installation space between capacitors should be considered for the cooling condition
of the equipment.
5.2.8 When the capacitor malfunctions or the service life is terminated, over-pressure protection device inside the product will be
broken, the upper cover slightly bulges and the capacitor failure occurs. Users are asked to periodically detect the operating
current and surface temperature of the capacitor and timely maintain it.
