In applications in which energy conservation is critical, such as wind or solar inverters or electric-vehicle (EV) powertrains, distributing power at high voltage can help to reduce I 2 R losses. The ...

A series of recent high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) technology breakthroughs at Vishay have resulted in a new range of surface-mount MLCCs that are better suited for the ballast ...

A major problem in high-voltage designs, particularly of the automotive variety at 500V and higher, is surface arcing or arc-over discharge across multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) terminals. In ...

Norfolk-based capacitor maker Syfer has pushed up the operation voltage of ceramic chip capacitors, by over 1kV in many case sizes, regardless of local humidity. “Typical devices include a 2kV ...
