6 FAQs about [Film capacitor low frequency ripple current]
Are film capacitors better than aluminum electrolytic capacitors?
As compared to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors have higher ripple current capacity and voltage capability. The ripple current capacity of these capacitors is about three times that of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. In addition, film capacitors have high tolerance to shock and vibrations.
How does ripple current affect the life of metallized polymer film capacitors?
As in other capacitors, ripple current causes power dissipation in film capacitors. This power dissipation raises the internal temperature of film capacitors, thus reducing their life. The operational life of metallized polymer film capacitors is greatly determined by the core temperature.
What is ripple current at low frequency?
The specification that Digikey uses to search/sort by is called Ripple Current @ Low Frequency. This is measured at 120hz on many of the capacitors that I've looked at. 120hz is the frequency of the pulsed DC in a linear power supply with full wave rectification.
Why do polymer film capacitors have a low ESR?
Furthermore, the ESR of polymer film capacitors is relatively constant over a wide range of temperatures. As in other capacitors, ripple current causes power dissipation in film capacitors. This power dissipation raises the internal temperature of film capacitors, thus reducing their life.
Do electrolytic capacitors have ripple current?
Some applications such as smoothing and filtering load electrolytic capacitors with AC ripple current. This ripple current causes power dissipation and heating, and subjecting electrolytic capacitors to high temperatures shortens their life.
Does a capacitor have a maximum ripple current?
