The unsung role of capacitors in efficient power electronics
Manage episode 498976164 series 3518870
High switching frequencies from silicon carbide and gallium nitride semiconductors make modern converters fast and efficient – but they also push passive components to the limit. This episode explains how new generations of DC link capacitors are tackling heat, ripple currents, and parasitic inductance, enabling more compact, stable and efficient EV power systems.
