Modern power systems demand capacitors that withstand extreme voltages while maintaining stability. The ALCON FP-1-400 900V1.2μF film capacitor delivers unprecedented performance where traditional components fail, offering engineers a game-changing solution for high-stress environments.
Technical Superiority Redefined
- 900V rated voltage (IEC 61071 certified) withstands voltage spikes in industrial inverters
- 1.2μF capacitance (±5% tolerance) maintains precise energy storage for power filtering
- -40°C to +105°C operational range ensures reliability in extreme thermal conditions
Case Studies
1. EV Fast-Charging Station Upgrade
When a Tier 1 EV charger manufacturer faced 12% efficiency drops during peak loads, replacing standard capacitors with FP-1-400 units reduced ripple current by 34% (per TÜV Rheinland report CHG-2023-087). The solution enabled continuous 350kW operation without derating.
2. Renewable Energy Storage System
A solar farm operator eliminated capacitor failures in their 1MW inverter bank by implementing FP-1-400 capacitors. Field data showed 98.2% capacitance retention after 8,000 operational hours (ALCON longevity testing data, 2024).
Engineering Advantages
The capacitor's self-healing metallized polypropylene construction prevents catastrophic failures, while its compact 27mm × 45mm footprint saves 22% PCB space versus comparable 900V capacitors. These features make it ideal for aerospace power supplies and medical imaging equipment where reliability is non-negotiable.
