GE Capacitors for High-Current, Power
Semiconductor, and DC Applications
Capacitors for Power Electronics require special high-performance designs for the
varied applications. This catalog describes capacitors for a number of demanding
applications where high currents and/or high voltages are common. Given the special
nature of these applications, care must be taken to ensure that the capacitors are
correctly applied. Information is included to help with the more common application
conditions. An Application Data Sheet is also provided to enlist the help of GE’s
Application Engineers. Please use this sheet if you need assistance or want to verify
your own calculations.

GE’s Foil Electrode capacitors are manufactured
with sheets of high quality aluminum foil as the
electrodes. The dielectric consists of two sheets of
polypropylene film. The film is manufactured in GE’s
own Capacitor Materials Operation. It is specially
designed with a rough surface to allow full impregnation by the dielectric fluid. The aluminum foil electrodes extend, one on each end of the capacitor roll,
so that a solder connection can be made. Depending
on the typical current for the type of capacitor, the
internal connections from the roll ends to the terminals are either braided cables or tin-plated copper
straps. This construction provides capacitors that are
inherently capable of handling high RMS and peak
currents.
DIELECTRIC FLUIDS
All of GE’s dielectric fluids are chosen for
specific characteristics that match the other
components in the capacitor dielectric system and the
applications for which the capacitors are intended.
Each fluid is based on one or two major
constituents and blended with proprietary
additives for optimum performance.
Dielectrol VII
A Benzyl Toluene-based fluid, used for film/foil
high current products.
GE’s Film/Paper/Foil capacitors are manufactured
with high grade film and foil, and capacitor grade kraft
paper. They are typically high voltage DC rated and
are treated with Geconol capacitor dielectric fluid.
These capacitors are exposed foil construction for
use in snubber and or DC filtering applications.

SCR Commutation Capacitors
A97F8600 / A97F8700 Series
600 to 1500 Volts Peak
This family of capacitors is designed for high-current applications, such as
(1) SCR commutation, (2) snubbers for SCRs, GTOs and other power
semiconductors, and (3) for any other circuits where the combination of
frequency and voltage results in high RMS currents. An Application Note is
provided to assist in the proper use of these devices. It is strongly recommended that users refer to GE engineers for assistance if there are any
questions as to the correct selection of capacitors. The A97F8600/
A97F8700 Series have an all-film dielectric and, due to the much lower
dissipation factor, can handle much higher currents than the older film paper
designs.
Advances in capacitor Dielectric technology have made paint
unnecesary, in most cases. This along with GE’s commitment to
environmental programs has led to the elimination of painted cases in
this product line. Removal of the paint has minimal affect on the RMS
current ratings; see the standard ratings charts for proper application.

Application Data for SCR and Snubbers Capacitors
For use with capacitor series:
A97F8600/ A97F8700
This Application Note is designed to allow users
to select the correct capacitor for two common
conditions encountered in power electronic circuits:
(a)
(b)
RMS current rating = 136 x 0.56 x 0.75
= 57.1 A
Sinusoidal waveform
Squarewave.
For applications that do not fit into either of these
categories, please contact your GE sales
representative for assistance.
To select the correct capacitor proceed as
follows:
1.
The A97F8672 has a current rating of 136 A.
Applying the correction factors for a 166 ms
pulsewidth and a 65 °C ambient:
Determine the following:
(1) Microfarad value required
(2) Peak voltage
(3) RMS current
(4) Current pulsewidth
(5) Capacitor ambient temperature.
This capacitor is satisfactory.
Note the terminal limit of 60 amps.

Voltage:
5 µF
60 Vac RMS 16.6 kHz

3.
Select a capacitor with the correct
capacitance and a peak voltage equal to or
greater than the application voltage.
Apply the correction factors on the opposite
page for Current Pulsewidth and Ambient
Temperature to the 55 °C RMS Current
Rating of the selected capacitor.
= 60 Ö2 = 85 V
= 2p x 16,600 x 5 x 10 -6 x 60
= 31.3 A
= 3 0 µs
The A97F8671 is rated 86 amps which becomes
80.6A with the correction factors. This is more
than adequate. Again, note the 60-A terminal
limitation.

If the “corrected” RMS current value is equal to or

by choosing a higher voltage capacitor. Note that the Ambient Temperature: 65°C

V and a current rating of 235 A. The correction
factor for 65°C is 0.75, and for a 60 µs pulsewidth
it is 0.90. Thus its current rating in this application is
235 x 0.80 x 0.90 = 158.6 A; adequate for the
application. Again, note the 60A terminal limitation.
