Capacitors for industrial applications at PPC 2017
Capacitors for industrial applications at Pulsed Power Conference 2017 in Brighton, UK
AMS Technologies offers high power film capacitors to meet the most demanding industrial and military applications. If you are going to Pulsed Power Conference 2017 from 18th to 22nd June 2017 in Brighton make sure to visit our booth and talk to our power experts.

Based on aluminum film with foil and segmented metallized film the capacitors provide lower heat dissipation and have a longer life compared to other dielectric types. Typical applications include pulse power, induction heating, electrical drives for large transport systems and inverters for renewable energy.
  • Voltage: AC 100 to 25,000 Volts, DC 100 to 200,000 Volts
  • Capacitance: 1 nano-farad to 50,000 microfarads
  • Current: DC to 5000 Amps rms up to 12000 KVAR
  • Physical Size: 0.25 cubic inches to 6 cubic feet
  • Packaging: metal or plastic case
  • Oil or resin filled
  • Air and water-cooled capacitors available for high-current and high frequency applications
The manufacturer, NWL Corporation, is one of the largest manufacturers of film capacitors in North America and a world leader in water-cooled DC link applications.
AC Voltage, Resonant Tank, Harmonic Filtering
Applications where an alternating voltage can be continuously applied across the capacitor. Generally resonant tank circuit applications, commutation and harmonic filtering.
High Energy Storage, Pulse Discharge
Applications where the capacitor would hold voltage for short duration and discharge into load. Damping and ringing voltage generates RMS current.
DC Continuous Voltage, DC Filtering, DC Link
Applications where capacitor remains at a DC voltage for continuous operation. Generally a small percentage of AC voltage ripple super imposed into DC voltage generates RMS current at ripple frequency.
Snubber Protection, Clamping, Commutation
Application where a voltage spike or surge charges capacitor in short duration. Repetitive pulses can generate RMS current in high frequency applications. IGBT mountable options.
High precision HF current transformers in our online shop
A range of high precision HF current transformers is available from the online shop of AMS Technologies. They provide non-destructive and non-contact measurement of currents from µA up to 25kA over a frequency range of 0.5Hz to 500MHz and beyond.

Typical applications include laser and plasma research, EMC and EMI research, semiconductor gate switching, power system barmollies and transients, capacitor and electrostatic discharges, corona wire discharge, critical monitoring of current fluctuations.
