DC Link capacitors manufactured in the UK
Charcroft Electronics, a specialist distributor and manufacturer of electronic components, will be highlighting UK-manufactured custom and high-voltage metallised plastic film capacitors on the Cymru Wales, Welsh Government stand number C3-217 at Cenex Expo 2025.
Used as a DC link in power-conversion battery energy storage systems (BESS), the high-voltage film capacitors are manufactured by Industrial Capacitors Wrexham (ICW), which is a part of Charcroft.
To support carbon reduction, all of the DC-link film capacitors offer full customisation, allowing very high volumetric efficiency and high current handling. Designs provide for low equivalent series-resistance (ESR) and extremely low self-inductance (ESL), which is important for designs using the latest fast switching technology such as Silicon-Carbide (SiC).
The film capacitors offer a range of layout and packaging options to make effective use of available space; terminal options include feed-through terminals which can be bolted directly to a layered busbar or fully integrating a busbar into the packaging to suit the required feed-out. For prototyping, thermal-sensors can be embedded into the package, providing useful system test data.
“Covering land, sea and aerospace, the Charcroft ICW custom DC-link film capacitors provide a valuable resource to designers seeking to optimise high-performance electrical powertrain systems where off-the-shelf components require too much compromise.”
With full film traceability, the ICW film capacitors also offer the option of complying with the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) automotive standard. www.icwltd.co.uk
