Richardson RFPD today announces availability and full design support capabilities for new metallized polypropylene DC link capacitors from Kendeil. The two series of devices, designated K31 and K32, are rated for voltages ranging from 600 to 1300V. Key features of the general purpose K31 devices include: -High ripple current (max): 100A Temperature: 85oC -Capacitance range: 120uF – 1000uF -Applications: Solar converters, motor drives, inverters, welding Key features of the high frequency K32 devices include: -High ripple current (max): 100A -Temperature: 85oC -Capacitance range: 100uF – 1000uF -Applications: Solar converters, motor drives, traction, inverters, welding The primary difference between the K31 and K32 series is that the K31 series is designed for low and medium frequency switching (less than 15 kHz), while the K32 series is designed for high frequencies (exceeding 15 kHz). Kendeil’s K32 series also utilizes segmented metalized polypropylene, which offers the advantages of controlled capacitance loss and open…
