Introduction API apacitors GT protection capacitors are designed to meet the requirements of the traction industry and for static drive applications. They are built to extremely high standards, offering enhanced properties over other similar looking designs. Wound with a combination of metallised polypropylene film and extended foil electrodes, in conjunction with a stable, environmentally safe liquid impregnant, extremely long life and reliable self-healing capabilities are assured. The loss angle (tanδf) is extremely low (<0.0003 at 1kHz) and the aluminium foil electrodes provide excellent thermal characteristics. Application API apacitors GT capacitors are designed for the severe duties of gate-commutated thyristors (GT s). They are also for tuning applications in the medium frequency range.

Introduction Thyristor snubber capacitor technology, particularly for rectifier circuits where bi-directional voltages are experienced, have traditionally used film and foil construction in order to accommodate the ac conditions involved. Applications API apacitors thyristor snubber capacitors are suitable for a wide range of inverter and converter applications. They are particularly useful for thyristor controlled rectifier circuits such as dc power transmission and traction lineside equipment. Technology API apacitors has developed a range of metallised capacitors specifically for thyristor snubber applications which are also fully ac rated. The special dielectric system ensures that the self-healing mechanism cannot produce catastrophic failure. In addition, the design ensures that high peak current can be repetitively withstood without long term damage. These capacitors are normally housed in fire resistant epoxy resin: a proven, extremely robust encapsulation, suitable for the rigours of severe vibration and high ambient temperature conditions of traction duty. Alternatively, although not detailed here, the older style metal-cased units may also be accommodated. Please contact us for these designs, if required.
