Reliable Energy Storage for Modern Power Electronics
#

DC-Link capacitors are essential components in advanced power electronic systems, providing stable energy storage and voltage smoothing in demanding environments. The ESDS series, developed with dry-type, metallized polypropylene film technology, is engineered to deliver high energy density (up to 0.25J/cc) and robust performance across a wide range of applications.

DC Link Capacitors for Power Electronics

Key Features and Benefits
#

  • Dry-Type, Metallized Film Construction: Utilizes self-healing metallized polypropylene film, ensuring low losses and long-term reliability.
  • High Dielectric Strength: Special polymeric dielectric composition supports operation up to +85°C, maintaining performance in challenging conditions.
  • Low Self-Inductance: With an ESL of less than 100nH, these capacitors are optimized for high-frequency applications.
  • Extended Lifetime: Designed for over 100,000 hours of operation, with a failure rate below 100 FIT.
  • Natural Cooling: Efficient heat dissipation without the need for forced cooling systems.

Typical Applications
#

  • Electro-transport systems
  • Substations
  • Wind turbines
  • Frequency converters
