What is a high voltage ceramic capacitor?

HIGH VOLTAGE CERAMIC CAPACITORSare particularly suitable for applications requiring a high voltage (from 10 to 150 kV), while reactive current remains low. Ceramic capacitors also achieve very good performance under pulse and discharge conditions. Various disc types cover a wide range of capacitances and voltages as shown in the following figure.

Why do we use ceramic HV capacitors?

Coupling, by-passing high frequencies circuits where an important reactive power is needed also use ceramic HV capacitors. • These applications require: - a high internal resistance - a high dielectric strength together with: - low or moderate losses at working frequencies (from 50 Hz up to a few kHz).

What are the characteristics of HV ceramic disc capacitors?

Coupling, by-passing high frequency circuits also use HV ceramic disc capacitors. - a high internal resistance. - a high dielectric strength. - low or moderate losses at working frequencies (from 50 Hz up to 10 kHz). The active power (or losses) being: Wa = 2 FC tg V2 = k (C tg ) (F V2)

What is HV capacitor used for?

HIGH VOLTAGE / AC USES • The main applications include live line indicators, AC dividers, grading systems for power distribution network, protection for HV switches and power circuit breakers. Coupling, by-passing high frequencies circuits where an important reactive power is needed also use ceramic HV capacitors.
