Film Capacitors: MKP18424154000 application field and working principle

Film capacitors are active electrical components with wide applications, capable of providing high capacitance values. They handle higher operating voltage than many other types of capacitors, and feature a long service life. On a physical level, a film capacitor is made up of metallized polypropylene film dielectric, insulated by two plastic films. The MKP18424154000 is a motor-run capacitor by the Taiwan manufacturer, which has the following characteristics.

MKP18424154000 film capacitors are rated by capacitance (in microfarads; μF) and voltage (in kilovolts; kV). The capacitance of this particular model is 0.047μF. As capacitance increases, so tends to the dielectric thickness, which helps dissipate the thermal energy inside the case. The MKP18424154000 has an operating voltage of 3.18kV, slightly higher than the 2.5kV rating of many capacitors. A higher voltage means a certification for a higher insulation class.

The most common applications of the MKP18424154000 are in motors used in industrial machinery and appliances, for efficient start and run operations. The operating frequency tends to be 50 to 60 Hertz, making this capacitor particularly useful for such motor run applications. This capacitor also provides reliable performance in filtering circuits and across AC mains, eliminating ripples and potential destabilizing sites which cause power loss and even equipment failure. Its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low dissipation factor (DF) makes this component ideal for these and many other applications.

The MKP18424154000 is a non-polarized capacitor, meaning its two terminals are interchangeable with no reflected performance alteration. Under an applied value of 1mV, the capacitor takes up to three to fifteen seconds to reach its full operating value. Both terminals must have a minimum of 0.3″ air gap as per the manufacturer’s specification.

In terms of its working principle, the MKP18424154000 operates under the law of Biot-Savart. When a voltage is applied to a pair of conducting plates, the electric field created between the plates is proportional to the magnitude of the voltage. When current flows through the capacitor, it creates an electric field from one plate to the other. The strength of the electric field increases as the capacitance increases, thus permitting the capacitor to yield higher voltage before it fails.

The MKP18424154000 is a film capacitor that is well suited for motor run applications. The capacitor is rated by capacitance and voltage, and its performance is influenced by the law of Biot-Savart. It provides reliable operation in motor run applications, as well as for filtering circuits and mains AC supply. The capacitor requires a minimum of 0.3″ air gap between its terminals for efficient operation.
