Power Ring – DC Link Capacitors

Features:

  • Extremely low ESR and ESL
  • Significant volumetric capacitor density
  • High temperature PEN dielectric


Applications:

  • High Performance Inverters
  • VSC HVDC
  • Pulsed Power

Power Ring capacitors offer RMS current ratings that are an order of magnitude higher than traditional DC link caps. This allows the farad rating to be reduced to allow designers to push higher power density in their designs.

Power Ring capacitors can be directly bonded to the busbar to allow tight integration between components. Loop inductance from the module terminal to the capacitor can be as low as 5nH resulting in high resonant frequencies and the potential for a snubber free design.

Advanced Conversion Power Ring DC Link Capacitor with inward terminal feet

 

 

Power Ring Capacitors are available with outward or inward-facing terminal feet, with the latter providing space saving capabilities.
