6SW180MX

Aluminum - Polymer capacitors are a type of electrochemical capacitor that combines both aluminum material and polymer electrolytic solution. A 6SW180MX is one such unit, made up of a solid aluminum case with a screw, hence the "6SW" at the beginning of its name. The "180" in the name refers to the overall voltage (180 volts) of the unit and "MX" refers to the maximum operation voltage.

When the 6SW180MX capacitor is in use, the aluminum which makes up the case acts as the positive and negative terminals respectively, which force electrical current to pass through it when a voltage is applied across the two terminals. The polymer electrolytic solution then acts as an insulating and a barrier layer between the two, preventing any short-circuiting or overheating. This combination of materials gives the 6SW180MX its very high capacitance of up to 180 Farads.

The 6SW180MX aluminum - polymer capacitor is designed primarily for use in power electronic applications like industrial AC/DC and medium voltage equipment, where voltage and current are constantly fluctuating. The unit is particularly suitable for applications with a large power factor, such as motor control systems, active filters for frequency control, and power systems for renewable energy conversion, due to its high capacitance and superior power factor.

The 6SW180MX aluminum - polymer capacitor also has excellent electrical performance during operation, with long life and high temperature resistance. The voltage is stable over time and it can operate in high temperatures of up to 140°C without any degradation of performance. Furthermore, the unit features very low ESR and ESL values.

From the above, it is clear that the 6SW180MX aluminum - polymer capacitor is an ideal choice for applications that require high capacitance, high temperature resistance and long life. Moreover, its superior power factor makes it suitable for use in power electronic circuit designs. Through combining aluminum and polymer materials in the same unit, the 6SW180MX capacitor is a reliable and efficient option for many power electronic applications.
