Improved Spice Models of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Inverter Applications

Existing public-domain models of aluminum electrolytic capacitor impedance vary from the least sophisticated, fixed series RLC, to models that add some parallel leakage components as well as temperature and frequency variation to the series resistance component

Thermal Modeling of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

A comprehensive thermal model for screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors is developed. The test methodology and data upon which the model is based are discussed. Exact one-dimensional solutions, multi-dimensional heat equations, and finite-element analysis (FEA) model simulation results are presented.

Reliability of CDE Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Lifetime of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is generally specified as the time under certain conditions of applied DC voltage, ripple current, and ambient conditions (temperature, airflow, heatsinking) at which the capacitor’s electrical parameters have drifted out of some specified limits.

Selecting and Applying Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors for Inverter Applications

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in all types of inverter power systems, from variable-speed drives to welders to UPS units. This paper discusses the considerations involved in selecting the right type of aluminum electrolytic bus capacitors for such power systems.
