Medium Power Film Capacitors

FLB (RoHS Compliant)

The FLB 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 85°C.

The FLB has been designed with overpressure disconnected

device. They are suitable for power factor correction and out-

put AC filtering for power converters, UPS systems, solar

inverters and motor drives etc.

APPLICATIONS

• The FLB capacitor is particularly designed for AC filtering

and power factor correction.

LIFETIME EXPECTANCY

One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to alu-

minum electrolytic) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of

its lifetime.

Unlike aluminum electrolytic film capacitors do not have a

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.
