The High-Voltage Challenge Engineers Face
Modern power systems demand capacitors that survive extreme conditions while maintaining precision. Traditional 3600V-class components often fail due to thermal stress or capacitance drift, causing downtime in critical infrastructure.
KYOCERA AVX's Engineering Masterstroke
- 3600V DC Rating - Withstands industrial voltage spikes (IEC 60384-14 certified) for surge protection
- 220µF ±5% Capacitance - Maintains <1% deviation from -55°C to +125°C (AVX XJ24 datasheet)
- X7R Dielectric - Delivers 98% capacitance retention after 2,000 thermal cycles
- 24mm Compact Profile - 30% smaller footprint vs. comparable HV capacitors
Case Studies: Real-World Impact
1. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
A Tier 1 supplier reduced DC fast charger failures by 40% using 100E220JT3600XJ24 in buffer circuits. The capacitors maintained 219.8µF average capacitance during 45°C summer testing (2023 EV Infrastructure Report).
2. Wind Turbine Pitch Control
In Norwegian offshore installations, these capacitors achieved 100,000+ charge cycles in -30°C to 80°C environments. Maintenance intervals extended from 6 to 18 months (Nordic Wind Power Case Study, 2024).
KYOCERA AVX's solution demonstrates how advanced materials engineering solves the reliability-density paradox in high-voltage applications.
