6 FAQs about [Characteristics of High Current Capacitors]
What are the characteristics of capacitors?
The characteristics of capacitors are frequency-dependent. At low frequencies, they function as expected, however, the performance of capacitors changes at higher frequencies because of factors like equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL.
Which type of capacitor has a high capacitance?
Electrolytic-type capacitors (tantalum and aluminium) on the other hand may have very high capacitances, but they also have very high leakage currents (typically of the order of about 5-20 μA per μF) due to their poor isolation resistance, and are therefore not suited for storage or coupling applications.
Why do electrolytic capacitors have high capacitance values?
Electrolytic capacitors have high capacitance values. The temperature rise affects the electrolyte’s viscosity and conductivity, affecting the capacitance value and its performance. Also, at extremely cold temperatures, the electrolyte can freeze, affecting its capacitance value.
