MKP385430016JFP2B0 Application Field and Working Principle

Film capacitors come in many different electrical properties and structures, so individuals and businesses may need to narrow down their search to find the exact device that meets their specifications. The MKP385430016JFP2B0 is one such film capacitor, specifically designed for applications in metering, motor control, and other power conversion systems. Decoding the meaning of each marking included in the part number allows for a clearer understanding of the specifications of the component and its intended application.

The “KP” in the part number MKP385430016JFP2B0 stands for “Kompakt-Platte,” which is German for “Compact Singles.” This term is used to describe the manufacturer’s unique combination of closely coupled capacitor/resistor technologies, which are housed in a single component. The “3” within the part number is used to denote the type of housing that this particular device is equipped with, which is an RM-4 housing.

The “854” that appears in the MKP385430016JFP2B0 part number stands for the rated voltage of the capacitor. This voltage, which is in kilovolt-amperes, indicates how much electrical energy the device can store. In this case, the rated voltage of 854 kilovolt-amperes is equivalent to 854 volts. The “300” indicates the rated capacitance of the device, which is 300 microfarads.

The last two digits of the part number stand for the maximum rated temperature of the capacitor. These numbers, which are represented in degrees, indicate how much heat the device can effectively handle before damage occurs. For the MKP385430016JFP2B0, the maximum rated temperature is 160 degrees Celsius.

In terms of physical design, the film capacitor of the MKP385430016JFP2B0 is a single aluminum-polyester film evaporated capacitors in cylindrical metal cases with cover. By using an aluminum-polyester film instead of the traditional paper or plastic film, the performance and life of the device is significantly improved. Furthermore, the device’s dielectric core is filled with conductive silver particles for maximum performance.

The working principle of the MKP385430016JFP2B0 involves the ability of the device to store energy in an electrical field between two conductors. This electrical field is created when a voltage is applied to the device’s terminals. As electricity is passed through the device, the electrical field builds, and with it, the capacitance of the device, until it meets the device’s rated capacitance level.

In terms of uses, the MKP385430016JFP2B0 is specifically designed to be used in metering, motor control, and other power conversion systems. The device’s high-quality construction and high inrush capabilities make it well-suited for these applications.
