Film capacitors are widely used in power electronics applications including but not limited to DC Link, DC output fltering, and as IGBT snubbers.
Film capacitors are widely used for DC fltering in power supplies. Their function is to smooth out the DC voltage waveform after rectifcation. As with all switching devices, IGBTs are subjected to voltage transients during turn-of operation. Voltage transients result from energy trapped in the circuit’s stray inductance.
KYOCERA AVX High Power Capacitors use high purity oil impregnation to achieve superior energy density in a compact capacitor design. They offer a high voltage range of 1.2kV – 100kV, with standard and custom terminal options. Our proprietary Controlled Self-Healing technology enhances the lifetime performance of power film capacitors.
The trade-of is that the much higher ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors often results in capacitor banks that are oversized to handle the ripple current requirements. Polypropylene flm capacitors have much lower ESR to handle the AC ripple without overheating. Film technology advantages over electrolytics are listed below.
The most common applications for DC flm capacitors in power electronics are DC Link, DC Filtering and snubbers for IGBT modules. A brief description of each application follows: Large value capacitors are used as the energy storage element or DC-Link at the DC input to the inverter.
