New capacitors designed for motor drives, wind and solar power and more

New Yorker Electronics offers a new capacitor created specifically for AC harmonic filtering or PFC applications. The ASC Capacitor HCO/HCG Single Phase AC Filter Capacitor is built for input and output filtering in UPS, Motor Drives, Wind and Solar Power, LC/LCL Filtering, and other power conversion technologies. The capacitors are constructed with very high quality metallised polypropylene film, developed for long life, higher RMS current ratings, low dielectric losses and low ESR. There are two types, the HCG is filled with ASC soft gel and the HCO is filled with biodegradable vegetable-based oil. Both offer excellent thermal conductivity to help reduce internal heating and prolong the life of the capacitor. The oil-filled version is mounted upright, while the gel-filled model can be mounted in any position. Both are housed in aluminium casing, and the male terminals (M6 or M8) and the female terminals (M5-M8) are tin plated brass. This line of capacitors is also included with internal UL recognised fusing mechanisms that interrupt when the pressure reaches a tested level. The products meet IEC61071, IEC60831 and UL810 standards.
