DC Filter Capacitors
RIPPLE
The sum of the peak ripple voltage and the DC voltage
should not exceed the rated voltage. Refer to graph Fig.1 for
permissible peak-to-peak ripple voltage as a percentage of
rated voltage for various frequencies.

POWER FACTOR
The power factor is variable, and is a function of temperature
and frequency see Fig. 2. Nominal value < 0.5 % at 20 °C.
These capacitors are manufactured using a mixed dielectric
material that consists of polyester / polypropylene film and
capacitor tissue. They are impregnated and filled with a
mineral oil. The container is a Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper
(SRBP) tube sealed at both ends with resin assuring
hermetic sealing. The capacitors are terminated with
M5 x 12 mm studs or tinned copper wire.

APPLICATIONS
Fig. 2
The ET range is specifically designed for high voltage filters
and can be successfully used in the following applications:
DIELECTRIC RESISTANCE
(Parallel resistance) is indicated by the graph of insulance
(M x μF) vs. temperature Fig. 3. The insulance (M x μF) is
nominally 10 000 s at + 20 °C. (Measurements taken after
1 minute with an applied voltage of 500 V).
• By-pass
• Coupling
• Filter applications
• X-ray power supplies
• Electrostatic air cleaners

TEMPERATURE RANGE
Temperature range is -55 °C to +85 °C. Derating is required
for operation at higher temperatures.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
ET type capacitors are designed for a life expectancy of
5000 h at 65 °C. To achieve the same life expectancy at
85 °C derate to 60 % of rated voltage Fig. 4.
CAPACITANCE RANGE
0.0005 μF to 2 μF. The tolerance is 10 %. Other tolerances
are available on request. Nominal values measured at 1 kHz.
