 1. The thermal resistance is that from capacitor to application. This is a function of the application
environment, not the capacitor itself.

2. The capacitor can handle extreme current for small duty ratios. Trise occurs very slowly. This is
because the capacitor has a high specific heat.

4. Internal capacitor Trise is added to the capacitor surface/terminal temperature.

5. For 200 ARMS the assumed 10°C internal Trise is very conservative based on simulation results
and verification measurements.

6. Terminals are assumed to be at case temperature.

• Lowest industry ESL at <5nH typical with a

from 250 Vdc to 1200 Vdc

The SBE Power Ring Film Capacitors™ utilize tradition-

ally available and economical polypropylene and poly-
ester capacitor dielectric films. However, the power
of the shape™ allows for both thermal and electrical
performance which has been unachievable in the film Figure 2
capacitor industry to date.

Power Ring System Performance

The combination of lowest available Trise, ESR and ESL

coupled with highest ripple current handling capability
enable the development of industry leading inverter
designs with unbeatable performance and reliability.

Lowest available Trise for a given ripple current

Lowest available ESL, less than 5nH demonstrated with

optimal integrated bus

Lowest available ESR, less than 150 micro-Ohms typical
Crown terminal architecture provides for a multitude
of current paths which allows the monolithic capacitor
to function as a distributed element with a much lower
ESR than an equivalent array of smaller parts. SBE has
