DPM6P22K-F

Film capacitors, also called plastic film dielectric capacitors or film dielectric capacitors, are capacitors having electrical insulation between conductors provided by a film of plastic material. DPM6P22K-F is a kind of polyester film capacitors, which is a subcategory of plastic film dielectric capacitors. It has a high dielectric strength per unit volume and is often considered to be an ideal electrical insulation material.

1. Application Field

DPM6P22K-F is commonly used for applications in motor drives, digital circuits, power supplies, telecommunications, lighting, UPS and other systems. Its applications cover a wide range of powers, from small consumers to industrial grade applications. The film capacitor also features a voltage range of up to 630V and is well suited for high frequency circuits. With its high crest value up to 2.5KV, DPM6P22K-F is a preferred choice for AC-motors, fans, pumps, generators and drives in premium HVAC applications.

2. Working Principle

Film capacitors are electrically charged capacitors with a plastic film as the dielectric material, usually Polyester (PET). They come in two forms - large area capacitors and medium area capacitors. Both can store energy and discharge it when required. Film capacitors’ dielectric properties are mainly dependent on the polymer material, its thickness and the way the electrodes are attached.

DPM6P22K-F is a medium area capacitor that is more efficient at transferring electrical energy than large area capacitor. Its working principle relies on capacitance, the ability of a capacitor to store a charge, which is dependent on the surface area and spacing between two conductors. As electric current passes through conductor of a DPM6P22K-F, an electric field is created between the conductors. This electric field is responsible for storing and transferring electrical charge.

Conclusion

In conclusion, film capacitors, and DPM6P22K-F in particular, are used in a wide range of scenarios including motor drives, power supplies and telecoms. They can handle voltages up to 630V and operate at high frequencies, while providing high values of capacitance. They have a working principle which relies on charges passing through two conductors with each conductor having an opposite polarity, making them efficient in transferring electrical power.
