# Industrial Specification: Capacitor Bank Array

## 1. Technical Definition
A modular assembly of multiple capacitor banks designed for industrial power factor correction applications.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **415-690 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 25-85°C ambient temperature, 0-95% relative humidity (non-condensing)**. Failure boundary: **Dielectric breakdown at 1.5 kV/mm for polypropylene film capacitors, thermal runaway at 105°C internal temperature, harmonic resonance at 2.5-7th order harmonics exceeding 20% THD**, Mechanism: **Electrochemical degradation of metallized film electrodes under high dv/dt stress (≥1000 V/μs), partial discharge inception at 80% of rated voltage, capacitor bank resonance with system inductance at 150-450 Hz**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$
