© 2000 GE Company Film/Foil Electrode Construction Film/Paper Foil Construction GE’s Foil Electrode capacitors are manufactured with sheets of high quality aluminum foil as the electrodes. The dielectric consists of two sheets of polypropylene film. The film is manufactured in GE’s own Capacitor Materials Operation. It is specially designed with a rough surface to allow full impregna- tion by the dielectric fluid. The aluminum foil elec- trodes extend, one on each end of the capacitor roll, so that a solder connection can be made. Depending on the typical current for the type of capacitor, the internal connections from the roll ends to the termi- nals are either braided cables or tin-plated copper straps. This construction provides capacitors that are inherently capable of handling high RMS and peak currents. GE’s Film/Paper/Foil capacitors are manufactured with high grade film and foil, and capacitor grade kraft paper. They are typically high voltage DC rated and are treated with Geconol capacitor dielectric fluid. These capacitors are exposed foil construction for use in snubber and or DC filtering applications. DIELECTRIC FLUIDS All of GE’s dielectric fluids are chosen for specific characteristics that match the other components in the capacitor dielectric system and the applications for which the capacitors are intended. Each fluid is based on one or two major constituents and blended with proprietary additives for optimum performance. Dielectrol VII A Benzyl Toluene-based fluid, used for film/foil high current products.

© 2000 GE Company This family of capacitors is designed for high-current applications, such as (1) SCR commutation, (2) snubbers for SCRs, GTOs and other power semiconductors, and (3) for any other circuits where the combination of frequency and voltage results in high RMS currents. An Application Note is provided to assist in the proper use of these devices. It is strongly recom- mended that users refer to GE engineers for assistance if there are any questions as to the correct selection of capacitors. The A97F8600/ A97F8700 Series have an all-film dielectric and, due to the much lower dissipation factor, can handle much higher currents than the older film paper designs. Advances in capacitor Dielectric technology have made paint unnecesary, in most cases. This along with GE’s commitment to environmental programs has led to the elimination of painted cases in this product line. Removal of the paint has minimal affect on the RMS current ratings; see the standard ratings charts for proper application.

© 2000 GE Company Application Data for SCR and Snubbers Capacitors For use with capacitor series: A97F8600/ A97F8700 This Application Note is designed to allow users to select the correct capacitor for two common conditions encountered in power electronic circuits: (a) Sinusoidal waveform (b) Squarewave. For applications that do not fit into either of these categories, please contact your GE sales representative for assistance. To select the correct capacitor proceed as follows: 1. Determine the following: (1) Microfarad value required (2) Peak voltage (3) RMS current (4) Current pulsewidth (5) Capacitor ambient temperature. 2. Select a capacitor with the correct capacitance and a peak voltage equal to or greater than the application voltage. 3. Apply the correction factors on the opposite page for Current Pulsewidth and Ambient Temperature to the 55 °C RMS Current Rating of the selected capacitor. If the “corrected” RMS current value is equal to or greater than the RMS current of the application, the capacitor is suitable. If not, a capacitor with a higher current rating must be selected. This can be done by choosing a higher voltage capacitor. Note that the All-FilmA 97F8600 series has the highest current ratings. Note: In no case should the actual RMS current exceed the limit of the capacitor terminals . Example No. 1 Capacitance: 10 mF Voltage: 200 Vac RMS 3 kHz Sinewave Ambient Temperature: 65 °C Peak Voltage = 200 x Ö2 = 283 Volts RMS Current = 2p x 3000 x 10 x 10 -6 x 200 = 37.7 A Current Pulsewidth = 166 µs The A97F8672 has a current rating of 136 A. Applying the correction factors for a 166 ms pulsewidth and a 65 °C ambient: RMS current rating = 136 x 0.56 x 0.75 = 57.1 A This capacitor is satisfactory. Note the terminal limit of 60 amps. Example No. 2 Capacitance: 5 µF Voltage: 60 Vac RMS 16.6 kHz Sinewave Ambient T emperature: 65°C Peak Voltag = 60 Ö2 = 85 V RMS current = 2p x 16,600 x 5 x 10 -6 x 60 = 31.3 A Current Pulsewidth = 3 0 µs The A97F8671 is rated 86 amps which becomes 80.6A with the correction factors. This is more than adequate. Again, note the 60-A terminal limitation. Example No. 3 Capacitance: 20 µF Voltage: 600 Vpeak unidirectional squarewave Frequency: 200 Hz Rise Time: 60 µs Fall Time: 60 µs Ambient Temperature: 65°C Peak Voltage = 600 V CDV 20 x 10 -6 x 600 I peak = = = 313 A 0.64t 0.64 x 60 x 10 I rms = 313 Ö60 x 10-6 x 200 = 32.4 A Current Pulsewidth = 60 ms The A97F8673 has a peak voltage rating of 600 V and a current rating of 235 A. The correction factor for 65°C is 0.75, and for a 60 µs pulsewidth it is 0.90. Thus its current rating in this application is 235 x 0.80 x 0.90 = 158.6 A; adequate for the application. Again, note the 60A terminal limitation.
