Over the recent past, new technologies have increased the demand for high current power capacitors with high reliability and condensed size. EFC has designed a series of Snubber / Power Capacitors specifically for these requirements.

With design requirements of low inductance and power consumption, high peak/RMS currents and good frequency response, the dielectric of choice is obviously polypropylene.
 

• Low power losses
• Low inductance
• Low ESR
• Excellent frequency response
• High RMS current ratings
• High pulse current ratings (dv/dt)
• Self healing
• Negative temperature coefficient
• Flame-retardant construction

• IGBT module protection
• TV deflections
• Semiconductor switching circuits
• SCR commutation circuits
• Motor controls
• AC voltage applications
• Switching mode power supply (SMPS) protection
