6 FAQs about [Aluminum electrolytic capacitor winding]
What is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor made of?
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is generally com-prised of a cylindrical winding of aluminum anode and cathode foils separated by papers impregnated with a liquid electrolyte, usually based on ethylene glycol. See Fig. 1. The anode and cathode foils are made of alumi-num, and the foils are usually highly etched.
Is the winding of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor anisotropic?
II. THE WINDING Starting from the hottest spot and working outward, we find that the winding of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is highly anisotropic, due to the fact that the thermal conductivity is much larger in the axial direction than in the radial direction.
How a capacitor element is wound in a winding machine?
The capacitor element is wound on a winding machine with spindles for one-to-four separator papers, the anode foil, another set of one-to-four separator papers and the cathode foil. These are wound into a cylinder and wrapped with a strip of pressure-sensitive tape to prevent unwinding.
What is the surface gain of aluminum electrolytic capacitors?
The surface gain for high voltage foils is ca 34 and up to 300 for low voltage foils (Ebel, 2003; JCC -Foil). Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are frequently used as DC-Link capacitors in many power electronics applications.
Why do aluminum electrolytic capacitors have non-solid electrolytes?
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors with non-solid electrolytes have an exceptional position among electronic components because they work with an electrolyte as liquid ingredient. The liquid electrolyte determines the time-dependent behavior of electrolytic capacitors. They age over time as the electrolyte evaporates.
What are the different types of electrolytic capacitors?
Electrolytic capacitors are available in several types as aluminum, tantalum, and niobium versions (Ho et al., 2010). The internal structure of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two aluminum foils, which are separated by a porous material such as paper which is impregnated with an electrolyte as shown in Fig. 6.11.
