  2. Film capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_capacitor

    In addition, polypropylene film capacitors are used in AC power applications, such as motor run capacitors or power-factor correction (PFC) capacitors. Polypropylene film capacitors are widely used for EMI suppression, including direct connection to the power supply mains. In this latter application, they must meet special testing and ...

  3. Polymer capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_capacitor

    The predominant application of all electrolytic capacitors is in power supplies.They are used in input and output smoothing capacitors, as decoupling capacitors to circulate the harmonic current in a short loop, as bypass capacitors to shunt AC noise to the ground by bypassing the power supply lines, as backup capacitors to mitigate the drop in line voltage during sudden power demand or as ...

  4. Dielectric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_absorption

    The capacitor shall be charged at the DC voltage rating for 60 minutes. Then the capacitor shall be disconnected from the power source and shall be discharged for 10 s. The voltage regained on the capacitor terminals (recovery voltage) within 15 minutes is the dielectric absorption voltage.

  5. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. [47] Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [48] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope.

  6. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    Plastic film capacitors operating at mains voltage can suffer progressive loss of capacitance as corona discharges cause local vaporization of the metallization. [ 8 ] In many cases, coronas can be suppressed by corona rings , toroidal devices that serve to spread the electric field over larger areas and decrease the field gradient to below the ...

  7. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Polypropylene (PP) film capacitors: Polypropylene: Most popular film capacitor dielectric. [citation needed] Predictable linear and low capacitance change with operating temperature. Suitable for applications in Class-1 frequency-determining circuits and precision analog applications. Very narrow capacitances. Extremely low dissipation factor.

  8. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [ citation needed ] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor ).
