This powerful feature facilitates the design of applications with capacitor banks and single capacitors alike. Following the calculation process, various parameters such as impedance, ESR, loss factor, life expectancy, Irms and Vrms are presented as graphs and printed out together with the result. The FilmCap tool also offers a smart search option which displays a list of suitable film capacitor types as soon as the key load parameters of an application have been entered.
Overall, the FilmCap Tool makes it considerably easier for design engineers to assess the performance of DC link capacitors under a wide range of conditions and to find the best solution for their application.
