Film capacitors are versatile components that can be designed into power electronics for industries ranging from consumer and renewables to automotive, aerospace and military. These capacitors come with very specific advantages including non-polarity, a high insulation resistance, low dielectric losses and self-healing capability.
Dielectric, electrodes and encapsulation systems are selected to achieve the best performance based on the voltage waveform, current and other environmental parameters. AC film capacitors are typically packaged in metal cans, filled or vacuum impregnated with oil to reduce the occurrence of corona discharge.
Film capacitors can be optimized through diferent materials and manufacturing methods. Capacitors are all unique; their fundamentals, the manufacturing processes, advantages and even technology trends are worth highlighting. There are diferent grades and applications critical to considering before choosing the best option.
On Segmented Film Technology Capacitors, the self healing effect is more controlled. The film metalization is made by forming a pattern of segments, which are connected to each other by micro fuses. This limits the healing current and limits the self-healing effect to a well defined section of the film.
Very high current film capacitor types generally use thicker aluminum foil electrodes. ▶Film capacitors are generally wound in a stagger, with opposing electrodes extended out at each end. ▶Ends of the windings are typically sprayed with a fine zinc spray to connect the turns at each end.
