ECW-H12362HV Working Principle

The ECW-H12362HV is a self-healing, polypropylene metallized winding film capacitor which is capable of dissipating energy that flows through it. This capability gives the ECW-H12362HV superior surge-handling and fault-tolerance capabilities which make it an ideal choice for power conversion, energy storage, and frequency response applications.

When an electrical signal is applied to the capacitor, the current through the winding causes the dielectric to expand and compress repeatedly. This action is known as electric displacement, and results in the generation of heat. The heat generated by the dielectric increases its resistance, allowing a portion of the signal to be dissipated. As the heat dissipates, the capacitance of the dielectric is restored and the signal is restored to its original shape.

The ECW-H12362HV also has a self-healing capability which makes it particularly attractive in applications where overvoltages or short-circuits occur. In these instances, the capacitor\'s insulation will be broken down and then reform, allowing the capacitor to return to its original state. This ensures that the capacitor is able to effectively dissipate any energy produced by the overvoltage or short circuit situation without the need for external intervention.
