SFABL5000470ZC1

Feed Through Capacitors

The SFABL500-0470-ZC1 is a feed through capacitor commonly used in cooling and heating systems, mainly for the purpose of improving efficiency and reducing power consumption. Its operating principle is based on the physical law of capacitive coupling, which states that a capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitance of a given distance. This law is demonstrated in how the SFABL500-0470-ZC1 operates, by providing the required capacitance to reduce the electric current that flows through a load, thus saving energy and improving efficiency.

They are usually installed in series, parallel or a combination of both, depending on the specific application. A single SFABL500-0470-ZC1 can withstand temperatures up to +105°C and is UL recognized. In order to operate properly, the capacitors need to be bypassed, so that the current flows through the capacitors. When an alternating current flows through a capacitor, it creates an electric field that resonates between two plates of different conductivity, thus creating a high frequency current. This current acts as a barrier, blocking the high-frequency energy and preventing it from reaching the load.

The SFABL500-0470-ZC1 serves many purposes and is ideal for applications that require frequent and high-amp applications. It is typically used for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. When used in industrial applications it is often mounted on racks or within panels. Some examples of these applications are filter banks, motor drives, DC drive systems, lighting control systems, industrial heating and cooling systems, and motor control centers.

The SFABL500-0470-ZC1 can also be used in motor drives, where it increases the efficiency and reduces the power consumption of the drive. This capacitor provides an insulated platform that is less susceptible to thermal runaway, providing better protection for both the motor and the drive. It can also be used in lighting control systems to reduce voltage ripple, reduce dimming, and increase lighting life. As lighting systems become more complex, the need for feed through capacitors such as the SFABL500-0470-ZC1 becomes more important.

In the residential area, the SFABL500-0470-ZC1 is often used in large appliances such as air conditioning systems and hot water heaters. The capacitor can reduce the power drawn by the appliance, ensuring the maximum efficiency and extended life of the appliance. It also reduces the amount of electricity needed to power the appliance, helping to lower utility bills.

Feed through capacitors, such as the SFABL500-0470-ZC1 provide many benefits to a wide range of applications. Its insulation means it is both thermally and electrically insulated, and it provides a highly reliable alternative to other options. It is an ideal solution for any application that requires high contact forces, power usage reduction, or improved efficiency.
