Medium Power Film Capacitors FLA (RoHS Compliant) The FLA series uses metallized polypropylene dielectric, alu- minum can, impregnated with soft PU specially treated to have a very high dielectric strength in operating conditions up to 85C. The FLA has been designed with overpressure disconnected device. They are suitable for output AC filtering for power converters, UPS systems, solar inverters and motor drives etc. APPLICATIONS The FLA capacitor is particularly designed for AC filtering HOT SPOT CALCULATION See Hot Spot Temperature, page 70. = + (P + P ) x R hot spot ambient d t th with P (Dielectric losses) = Q x tg d 0 1 2 Q x tg 2 x C x (V ) x f x tg 0 n peak to peak 0 tg (tan delta) 0 -4 For polypropylene, tg = 2 x 10 for frequencies 0 up to 1MHz and is independent of temperatures. 2 P (Thermal losses) = R x (I ) t s rms where C in Farad I in Ampere f in Hertz n rms Vin Volt R in Ohm in C s R in C/W th WORKING TEMPERATURE According to the power to be dissipated -40C to +85C LIFETIME EXPECTANCY One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to alu- PACKAGING MATERIAL minum electrolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of Aluminium can with soft PU its lifetime. STANDARDS Unlike aluminum electrolytic film capacitors do not have a IEC 61071-1, IEC 61071-2: Power electronic capacitors catastrophic failure mode. Film capacitors simply experience a parametric loss of capacitance of about 5% from initial value, with no risk of short circuit. The capacitor continues to be functional even after this 5% decrease.
