Product Overview
The FDGE11 outdoor discharge coil is a dry-type epoxy resin cast device designed for high-voltage shunt capacitor banks in 6kV to 12kV power systems. Connected in parallel with the capacitor bank, it provides a controlled discharge path after switching operations to reduce residual voltage to safe levels within the required discharge time.
Unlike conventional voltage transformers, the primary function of the FDGE11 discharge coil is capacitor discharge. The secondary winding provides voltage indication, measurement, or residual-voltage signals for protection systems when specified.
Key Features:
- Outdoor single-phase, fully sealed dry-type construction
- Vacuum-cast epoxy resin insulation for reliable outdoor performance
- Primary voltage options: 6.6/√3, 7.2/√3, 11/√3 and 12/√3 kV
- Matched capacitor capacity: 1.7, 2.5 and 3.4 Mvar
- Insulation levels: 7.2/32/60 kV or 12/42/75 kV by model

Model Designation

The FDGE11 model designation follows a standardized coding system:
Example: FDGE11/11/√3-2.5-1W identifies an outdoor single-phase dry-type discharge coil with secondary winding, an 11/√3 kV rated primary voltage configuration and a 2.5 Mvar matched capacitor capacity.
Service Conditions
- Installation: Outdoor
- Rated Frequency: 50 Hz standard; 60 Hz configuration available upon technical confirmation
- Ambient Temperature: -40°C to +40°C
- Altitude: ≤ 3000 m
