TDK-EPC has developed EPCOS power capacitors with high rated voltage, long operating life and high current handling capability, making them ideal for renewable energy generation applications, such as AC output filters in offshore wind turbines.The new MKP AC HP B25360 series has rated voltages from 550 VRMS AC up to 1000 VRMS AC and covers a capacitance range from 10 to 150 µF. High dielectric strength is enabled by a castor oil filling. The new design has improved heat dissipation from the capacitor’s interior to the aluminum can. In addition, hot spots are reduced and superior insulation properties are achieved, thereby extending the operating life to 100,000 hours.Learn more from TDK.
