Conduction-cooled capacitors offer current handling capabilities for specialized applications

By Paul Dvorak | June 27, 2016

Illinois Capacitor HC and LC Series Conduction Cooled Capacitors are robust solutions for resonant power circuity having very high current demands.  Large flat copper plates allow the LC Series of capacitors to reliably handle the current and voltage in resonant power circuits.  The HC Series are compact rectangular block types.

Applications include: induction heating, resonant power supplies, RF amplifiers, welding equipment and electric vehicle charging stations.

Applications include: induction heating, resonant power supplies, RF amplifiers, welding equipment and electric vehicle charging stations.

With ratings of up to 1,200 amps RMS and 1,100 Vac, the new capacitors are more than capable of supporting a full range of industrial and high capacity battery-charging applications.  Depending on series, parts are designed with single or multiple element construction.  Dielectrics are impregnated to reduce the risk of corona within the capacitor

Applications include: induction heating, resonant power supplies, RF amplifiers, welding equipment and electric vehicle charging stations.

Devices can be used in resonant circuits ranging from 9 kHz to 1 MHz depending on the capacitance value.  Standard capacitance values are from 0.05μF to 37μF.  Operating temperature ranges from -40° to +85°C

Illinois Capacitor’s Conduction Cooled Capacitors are self-healing and use Polypropylene dielectric material.  They are Halogen free, ROHS compliant and meet UL94V0 as flame retardant.
