Capacitors aid automotive power development
Epcos is working with Continental Temic on the development of components for power electronics in hybrid vehicles.
Epcos is working with Continental Temic on the development of components for power electronics in hybrid vehicles. In the Electronic Powertrain Controller (EPC) Project, Continental Temic is using capacitors based on Epcos' innovative stacked winding technology to produce extremely compact and efficient convertors for automotive power trains. The extremely light and space-saving design of Epcos power capacitors enables the realisation of ultracompact designs in automotive electronics.
Rated at 2000uF, the power capacitors have a dielectric strength of 450V DC.
Thanks to their space-saving stacked winding technology, they measure only 292 x 146 x 56mm.
At an operating frequency of 8kHz, a current up to 150A RMS can be applied to the capacitor.
In turn, the very low-inductance capacitors optimise convertor design because only low voltage peaks, for example, can occur.
Further advantages of the capacitors include their oil-free design and self-healing capability.
A wide operating temperature range extends from -40 to +105C.
