The most commonly used types for power factor correction are constructed using a metallized polypropylene film while a few employ metallized polyester film or paper
Exxelia, an established designer and manufacturer of complex passive components, resistors & sub-systems dedicated to harsh environments, launches its new 253P & 560P product series providing unmatched performances at high temperature.
The latest C44U-M series features a DC-Link and DC filter power film capacitor designed for high-power conversion systems applications in green energy, industrial, and energy storage systems. It supports DC networks and proportionally supplies high current based on circuit needs or load demands—a common characteristic in wind, solar, and storage energy technologies.
Due to the high levels of currents that these components are exposed to, considerable amount of heat is generated. Cooling such a capacitor helps to enhance its performance as well as its reliability
Decoupling and filtering are two of the most common uses of capacitors. It can be tempting to use the two terms interchangeably but in doing so, some of the key elements of usage can be overlooked.
The automotive demand is not just for ICs like processors, memories, power, sensors…, passive components such as capacitors are needed to ensure high stability and interference-free designs
Kemet Application Intelligence Center KAIC lab released a video that demonstrates how four different capacitor types affect the ripple voltage on a boost or buck regulator
