The approvals are feature a high IRMS current, a very good self-healing based on the corresponding international standards characteristic and a wide variety of terminals (IEC, UL, CSA). The B32921 … B32928 series offers (throughhole and 17 strap terminals for screw to IGBT, compact X2 capacitors up to 30 µF, with a maximum B32656S … B32658S). operating voltage of 305 V AC (50/60 Hz). In addition, The B32671L … B32672L series also offers an the B32021 … B32026 series covers the demand excellent AC voltage capability. for Y2 capacitors up to 1.0 µF and a rated voltage of For higher pulse handling capability the 300 V AC. If reinforced insulation is demanded with B32682 … B32686 and B32686S series can withstand higher voltage withstanding, X1 (B32911 … B32916) dv/dt values up to 20 000 V/µs and very high IRMS and Y1 (B81123) are available. current with frequencies exceeding 100 kHz. The new X2 humidity B3292*H/J series of X2 EMI suppression capacitors features stable capacitance DC link capacitors values, even under extremely humid conditions. The Capacitors in the DC link module are designed to B3292*H/J series for operating voltages of up to for support the DC voltage after the AC/DC converter by 305 V AC comprises types with rated capacitances supplying high current peaks when required. ranging from 0.1 to 15 µF. EPCOS offers MKP capacitors in various operating A new X2 industrial grade series of robust MKP X2 voltages, with its B32674 … B32678 series (higher capacitors (B3292xA/B4) offers a higher rated voltage current capability) and B32774 … B32778 series (high of 350 V AC, whereas conventional types are designed density of capacitance, also available in THB version). for rated voltages of 305 V AC. This makes the new X2 capacitors suitable for EMI suppression in input filters, Capacitors for output filtering specifically for applications on the North American market and for output filters.
