BFC247015474

Film capacitors, also known as film dielectric capacitors, are capacitors that use solid films as the electrodes in between the conductors. They are widely used in various applications and are one of the most popular capacitor types. The BFC247015474 is a film capacitor that has a variety of applications and uses a unique working principle.

BFC247015474 Application Field

The BFC247015474 is an off-the-shelf film capacitor designed to be used in a wide variety of applications. It has been successfully implemented to provide power in high voltage systems, coupling, bypassing, energy storage, and AC line filtering. Its metallized polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) film, ensures conductivity and reliability while the winding made of self-supporting stainless steel ensures an overall high quality and a long lifespan. The BFC247015474 is also cost effective due to its low price and its wide availability due to its popularity.

The BFC247015474’s polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) film has a dielectric strength of 35kV/mm and its winding has an insulation resistance of 10000MΩ. The medium term stability is excellent due to its very low drift rate (0.3% per year). The temperature coefficient is also very low, ranging from -5500PPM/ºC to -5000PPM/ºC.

BFC247015474 Working Principle

The BFC247015474’s working principle is based on the fact that charges on one slab of a dielectric material are neutralized by charges of equal magnitude on the other slab. This way, the dielectric material between the two conductors form the basis of the capacitor.

The PET film of the BFC247015474 functions as the dielectric material where electric charges are stored. The electric charge is stored through the application of a voltage applied to the two conductors. The electrodes then act as a material with a much lower resistance than the dielectric material, allowing current to flow more freely. The higher the voltage is applied, the higher the amount of electric charge stored in the film. This way, the film capacitor acts as a storage unit that can transform current into energy.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BFC247015474 is a film capacitor built to provide power in high voltage systems, coupling, bypassing, energy storage, and AC line filtering. Its metallized polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) film, ensures reliable performance and the winding made of self-supporting stainless steel ensures an overall high quality and a long lifespan. It is also cost-effective and has a wide availability due to its popularity. Its working principle is based on a two-slab dielectric storing electric charges and operates through the application of voltage to two conductors.
