| Part Number: | BSMJ | 0.4 | - | 15 | - | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Explanation: |
Series BSMJ - Shunt capacitor family with metallized polypropylene film and microcrystalline impregnation; this example applies to BSMJ |
Rated Voltage 0.4 - 0.4kV rated voltage in this example; select a voltage/output combination listed in the model schedules |
Rated Output 15 - 15kvar rated output in this example; other listed outputs depend on the selected voltage and phase configuration |
Phases 3 - Three-phase construction |
The BSMJ, BCMJ and BZMJ schedules cover rectangular shunt capacitors for power factor correction. Keep the family prefix, voltage, output and phase designation together when specifying a model. The BSMJ construction uses metallized polypropylene film, a semi-solid microcrystalline impregnant, self-healing dielectric behaviour, an internal discharge resistor and protective disconnection features.
The ordering example applies to the BSMJ construction. The numerical model schedules also identify BCMJ and BZMJ family prefixes; their material meanings are not interchangeable with BSMJ solely because the numerical suffix matches.

The BSMJ example BSMJ0.4-15-3 identifies the family, 0.4kV rating, 15kvar output and three-phase construction. Single-phase models use phase code 1. Match the complete model and case dimensions when replacing a capacitor; equal output alone does not establish terminal or mounting compatibility.


Special specifications are available to order. Single- and three-phase constructions can share case dimensions at equal output, but use the exact model schedule and terminal arrangement for the selected version.
