Capacitors for Electronic Equipment

WIMA GTO Capacitors with
Screw Connection for
High Current Carrying Capability
WIMA GTO MKP
WIMA GTO MKP capacitors are especially
designed to attenuate voltage spikes
on GTO (Gate-Turn-Off) Thyristors and
IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).
They are manufactured in dry-type technology
with double-sided metallized electrodes
and encapsulated in a cylindrical
plastic case sealed with self-extinguishing
polyurethane resin.
Their construction principle combined with
the Polypropylene dielectric used creates
outstanding features, e.g.:
n Very low self-inductance
n High pulse reliability
n High rms current carrying capability
n Very low dissipation factor
n Negative capacitance change versus
temperature
n Excellent self-healing properties
n Outstanding mechanical stability
n High shock and vibration resistance
n Solvent-resistant, flame-retardant plastic
case in accordance with UL 94 V-0
n Almost unlimited life expectancy
Fields of applications are designs where
high current and voltage carrying
capabilities are required, e.g. converter
equipment in power generation or in
traction technology for train drives, hoists,
crane drives etc.
WIMA GTO MKP capacitors are available
with capacitances from 1.0 mF through
100 mF and with nominal voltages from
400 VDC through 2000 VDC. For mounting
purposes M6 and M8 threaded terminations
are possible. Customer-specific
requirements can be realized on demand.
All components are environmentally
compatible with the RoHS 2011/65/EC
regulations of the European Union.
