Product catalog summary
Fields of Application
Capacitors for power electronics are versatile, handling non-sinusoidal voltages and pulsed currents. They are available as AC and DC capacitors. AC capacitors are used for damping voltage spikes, filtering harmonics, and pulse discharge applications. DC capacitors smooth fluctuating DC voltage, store energy, and handle short-time current surges in applications like laser technology.
Product Series
Specific series are designed for various applications: E62, E62-3ph, E53, E54, E65, E93, E12, E33 for AC use, and E51, E60, E56, E59 for AC applications on request. Most single-phase capacitors can be used in DC applications.
Application Matrix
A matrix shows the applicability of different capacitor series across sectors such as transportation, energetics, industry, medical engineering, and lighting, with series like E12, E33, E50, E51, E53, E55, E54, E56, E59, E57, E60, E66, E61, E62, E65, E62-3ph, E65-3ph, E62-3HF, E63, E64, E70, E90 used in various applications.
PK16™ Capacitors
PK16™ capacitors offer high current per microfarad and long service life, suitable for high-current converters and low inductance DC buffer circuits, replacing banks of electrolytic capacitors and large film capacitors.
GA85 Capacitors

Capacitors for power electronics-2

FIELDS OF APPLICATION ANWENDUNGSBEREICHE Capacitors for power electronics can be used for a wide variety of applications, even where extremely non-sinusoidal voltages and pulsed currents are present. Both AC and DC capacitors are available. AC capacitors are periodically recharged during operation, DC capacitors are periodically charged and discharged without recharge. Kondensatoren für die Leistungselektronik sind universell einsetzbare Kondensatoren, die auch mit stark von der Sinusform abweichenden Spannungen und mit impulsförmigen Strömen betrieben werden können. Wechselspannungskondensatoren...

They are of the same kind as our famous PK16™. But with very similar electrical features and up to 20% less weight, they offer a new important advantage: thanks to hermetical sealing, GA85 can be operated in areas with notoriously high climatic stress. No humidity, no chemical pollution will penetrate the hermetical case. Reliable protection, and not just for the show of a spectacular 85/85 test. Vom gleichen Schrot und Korn wie unsere berühmte PK16™-Reihe.
