36D142G050AA2B Application Field and Working Principle

The 36D142G050AA2B is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, typically used in power applications such as UPS systems and solar power systems. It is usually used in conjunction with high voltage AC motors and performs the function of a starter capacitor, providing the energy needed to establish a running current. This type of capacitor works due to the phenomenon of dielectric absorption. Dielectric absorption is the phenomenon of a capacitor absorbing additional charge due to the polarization of its dielectric material in an applied electric field. This phenomenon is also known as “capacitive absorption” or “hysteresis absorption”.

The 36D142G050AA2B aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a higher capacitance than regular electric capacitors due to the presence of the aluminum oxide dielectric layer. The thicker the dielectric layer, the higher the capacitance. As the capacitor absorbs successive charges, the dielectric layer gets thicker, resulting in increased capacitance. As the capacitor is able to rapidly absorb charge, the 36D142G050AA2B aluminum electrolytic capacitor is well-suited for power loads that require rapid current draw, such as those involving high-speed motor accelerations.

The 36D142G050AA2B aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also well-suited for use in applications that require a rapid release of energy, such as surge suppression, overvoltage protection, and others. This is because the high-capacity aluminum oxide dielectric allows for a relatively faster release of energy when the charge is removed from the capacitor. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor can also be used in audio applications, such as in audio crossover networks where it is used to separate different frequency ranges. It is also used in loudspeakers to dampen and reduce resonances.

The 36D142G050AA2B aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an important component in many power-related applications, and its ability to rapidly absorb and release charge makes it invaluable in providing the necessary power for rapid motor accelerations, surge suppression, overvoltage protection, and many other purposes. As aluminum electrolytic capacitors generally have a shorter lifespan than other types of capacitors, they are often used as a secondary capacitor in applications where the cost to replace them is considered insignificant relative to the cost of replacing the larger component they help to power.
