SWITZERLAND: IXYS Corp. announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode Ltd, expanded its portfolio of capacitors for power electronics, including many new introductions to complement its extensive range of power semiconductors.
Within the portfolio are AC/DC capacitors (general use), Axial and Radial low inductance capacitors, gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) snubber low inductance capacitors, PK-16 low inductance DC capacitors, SR17TM DC capacitors for traction and 3-phase AC filter capacitors.
“This expanded portfolio enables IXYS UK to fully support the design needs of our customers, providing a total solution with both semiconductor and complementary capacitors. These capacitors have a unique self-healing dielectric characteristic giving them a longer operating life over conventional designs,” commented Nicholas Tarling, product engineer at IXYS UK.
This portfolio covers capacitance of up to 7400uF with DC voltages up to 50kV and peak current up to 34kA. IXYS UK can also design and supply custom made capacitors to suit any application.
Typical applications for these capacitors include: line filters, energy storage, GTO and IGBT snubbers, smoothing and rectification, surge and pulse discharge, commutation, 3-phase harmonic filters and clamp circuits.
