Film Capacitors play an important role in industrial applications, making them invaluable components in electrical systems. One such Film Capacitor is the 942C16S68K Capacitor, which is suitable for high voltage surge applications. This article will take a look at the application field and working principle of the 942C16S68K.

Application Field

The 942C16S68K is a high voltage Capacitor designed for surge applications. It has a high working temperature of up to +105 degrees Celsius and can withstand high voltage surges up to 450V AC. It is a Safe Ground Capacitor, which means it has a secondary ground connection that reduces the chance of a ground fault. This makes the 942C16S68K especially suitable for high-voltage surge applications, such as protecting against lightning strikes. It is also suitable for other high voltage applications, including motor drives, AC to DC converters, and load transient suppression.

Working principle

The 942C16S68K is a polypropylene Film Capacitor and works by storing electrical charge between two conductive plates. The capacitor is made up of two metal plates, each covered with a thin insulating layer. One of the plates is coated with a liquid dielectric, such as oil or silica gel. The two plates are then separated by a thin, non-conductive sheet of polypropylene Film. This provides insulation between the plates, preventing the flow of charge between them.

When an electrical current is applied to the 942C16S68K, the dielectric material between the plates begins to accumulate electrical charge. This creates an electric field, which stores energy in the form of an electric potential. The stored energy is then slowly released when the current is removed. This makes the 942C16S68K useful for damping electrical transients, since it can slowly release the stored energy and help prevent the occurrence of spikes in the current.

Conclusion

The 942C16S68K is a polypropylene Film Capacitor suitable for surge applications. It has a high working temperature and can handle high voltage surges up to 450V AC. This makes it an ideal choice for high-voltage surge applications, such as protecting against lightning strikes. Its ability to store energy and slowly release it makes it useful for damping electrical transients and preventing spikes in the current. The 942C16S68K Film Capacitor is an invaluable component in electrical systems and will continue to be used in a variety of applications.
