Customer ServiceWhen high slew-rate loads such as a rapid charge-discharge are applied to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the various electrochemical reactions on the cathode foil bring the gas generation and the capacitance reduction of the cathode foil.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consist of anode aluminum foil formed with aluminum oxide film on the surface to function as the dielectric. The cathode aluminum foil functions as a collector, and the liquid electrolyte functions as the real cathode. The electrolyte is impregnated onto a separator (spacer) paper between both foils.
A 0.05~0.11 mm thick anode foil and a 0.02~0.05 mm thick cathode foil are continuously etched electrochemically in a chloride solution with an AC or DC current. This enlarges the effective surface area of the aluminum foils to attain smaller capacitor sizes. The process develops aluminum oxide (Al203) to form a capacitor dielectric.
Figure 25. Aluminum capacitor foil resistance examples versus location of the terminal ribbons. For all types of electrolytics the conductivity of the electrolyte plays a crucial part in the losses. Furthermore, this contribution increases with an increasing degree of etching.
Therefore, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor charging is to be accompanied by the electric reaction of the electrolyte on the cathode electrode, and as a result, it goes to the equilibrium that the anode foil charge is not equal (larger) to the cathode foil charge. Fig. 23 (a) is the illustration of this state.
The cathode foil has a capacitance (Cc) that uses the oxide film, which formed by the forming voltage or formed naturally during storage (generally it should be 1V or less), as a dielectric. According to the construction of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, Ca and Cc are connected in a series.
