In , the accelerated testing designed for metallized film capacitors is under high ripple current and voltage stress conditions. While the impacts of voltage, current, and temperature on the degradation of DC film capacitors are well investigated, there is still a lack of quantitative study on the impact of humidity.
Film capacitors have a capacity range of 3pF-0.1μF and a DC working voltage of 63-500V. They are suitable for both high frequency and low frequency applications and have a leakage resistance greater than 10000 Ω. (Summary of characteristics: The capacity range of the film capacitor is 3pF-0.1μF, the DC working voltage is 63-500V, suitable for high frequency and low frequency, and the leakage resistance is greater than 10000 Ω.)
The main applications for film capacitors in power electronics are identified and guidance given on how to select appropriate film capacitor types. Detailed calculations are then given for some example circuits showing how particular capacitors and their ratings are selected.
To improve metalized film capacitors, the following methods are used for capacitor products: Use double-sided metalized film as an electrode, Increase the thickness of the metalized coating, and improve the metal welding process on the end face to reduce contact resistance. Working voltage is not directly related to the improvement of metalized film capacitors.
To test a film capacitor: First, check its appearance. If there's a problem, the capacitor may have issues. Next, test the two legs with a multimeter. The resistance should be very high. If you have a capacitance meter, measure the capacitance value and compare it to the mark on the housing.
While the impacts of voltage, current, and temperature on the degradation of DC film capacitors are well investigated, there is still a lack of quantitative study on the impact of humidity. The testing procedures of film capacitors under humidity conditions vary among capacitor manufacturers.
