Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

ELXZ500ELL181MH20D aluminum electrolytic capacitors are general-purpose capacitors with a wide application range. Our electrolytic power capacitors provide long life and are suited for high ripple current applications. Their long life and high ripple current capability make them ideal for use in power electronics applications such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), motor control systems, lighting controllers, and other power conversion applications.

Applications

ELXZ500ELL181MH20D aluminum electrolytic capacitors are components used in power electronics with their main applications being filtering, decoupling, and energy storage. They can also help in protecting components from voltage spikes, in power factor correction, and in controlling harmonic distortion. These capacitors are widely used in various industrial applications such as inverters, solar power inverters, industrial automation, power supplies, and motor drives, among others.

Working Principle

ELXZ500ELL181MH20D aluminum electrolytic capacitors work on the basic principle of an electrolytic cell, consisting of 2 electrodes - an anode which is the positive terminal, and a cathode which is the negative terminal. An electrolyte solution, a current-carrying medium, is then added to the system, allowing a chemical reaction to occur between the electrodes.

The electrolyte in the ELXZ500ELL181MH20D aluminum electrolytic capacitor is either an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid or an organic solvent, such as acetonitrile. On applying a voltage, the positive ions of the electrolyte are attracted to the negative terminal, while the negative ions are attracted to the positive terminal. At the same time, a thin film of oxide forms on the surface of the anode. This creates an electric field across the electrodes, resulting in the accumulation of charge carriers, which in turn creates an electric field.

The electric field is the main working attribute of the ELXZ500ELL181MH20D aluminum electrolytic capacitor. This electric field creates capacitive behaviour, meaning that it is able to store and release electrical energy as a function of the applied voltage. This makes the aluminum electrolytic capacitor ideal for filtering, decoupling, and storing energy, making it an essential component for use in power electronics applications.
