Capacitors Solutions Custom Made for xEV
Stricter environmental regulations aimed at reducing CO2 emissions have significantly boosted the eco-friendly vehicle (xEV) market, prompting car manufacturers to expand their xEV offerings by replacing gas-powered vehicles. This shift has led to a heightened demand for small, high-performance DC-link capacitors used in driving inverters, which Panasonic has successfully addressed through its advanced vapor deposition technology and safe fuse structure design.
xEV Film Capacitor Product Features
1. High Safety
This capacitor is equipped with a security mechanism fuse function that ensures the product's safety by utilizing an open failure mode. The original security mechanism features high-precision pattern deposition, where fuses are optimally arranged on a deposited film. This design directs any potential failure to an open failure mode, preventing ignition or smoking accidents that could result from a short failure mode. As a result, this contributes to the enhanced safety of vehicles.
2. Miniaturization
To achieve the miniaturization of the capacitor, Panasonic adopted a highly voltage-resistant polypropylene (PP) film with reduced thickness. This innovation helps to decrease the overall thickness of the capacitor. Collaborating with film manufacturers, Panasonic developed this advanced film, successfully minimizing the size and weight of the inverter. As a result, this miniaturization has paved the way for more compact and lightweight inverter designs.
3. High Power Output
Panasonic's innovative vapor deposition technology significantly reduces self-heating in capacitors by lowering their equivalent series resistance (ESR). This improvement enables the capacitors to handle high power output from inverters more effectively. Using patented high current pattern deposition and a heavy edge construction method, Panasonic's original technologies further mitigate self-heating, allowing capacitors to manage larger allowable currents. As a result, this contributes to an overall increase in power output from the inverter.
