381LX102M180A022 application field and working principle

381LX102M180A022 is an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor that is particularly well-suited to AC circuits, most accurate in situations where the voltage is consistently fluctuating, and rated for long-term storage of high amount of energy. The application fields of 381LX102M180A022 are, but not limited to: electric motors, welding machines, ballasts, UPS systems, inverters and microprocessor-based circuit boards.

The working principle of 381LX102M180A022 is based on the Faraday law of electrolysis. In a chemical reaction between an electrolyte and two electrodes, one of the electrodes, known as the cathode, has a higher number of available electrons. The second electrode, known as the anode, has fewer available electrons, meaning that as electrons flow between them, a charge is built up. With 381LX102M180A022, the cathode is made of aluminum and the anode is made out of a highly porous, combustible material. This reaction is what generates the electrostatic field, allowing it to store electrical energy.

Due to the materials used, this kind of capacitor is able to reach higher voltage ratings than other types of capacitors. It’s also known for its ability to withstand changing voltages and temperatures, making it highly reliable for large energy storage applications. Additionally, the oxidation inside the capacitors helps maintain low equivalent series resistance, resulting in low leakage current and a longer lifespan.

In conclusion, 381LX102M180A022 is a type of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, with its application field mainly on electric motors, welding machines, ballasts, UPS systems, inverters and microprocessor-based circuit boards. Its working principle is based on the Faraday law of electrolysis, which enables it to reach higher voltage ratings than other types of capacitors and more suitable for applications involving changing voltages and temperatures.
