App note: Snubber capacitors for complete insurance of power semiconductors

An application note from WIMA about snubber capacitors, Link here. The trend of modern semiconductor technology towards increasingly powerful applications results in the fact that switched currents and voltage levels are continuously increased and that simultaneously the switching speed is also increasing markedly. The developments in the area of power semiconductors include the component group […]

App note: Selection of capacitors for pulse applications

Guidelines from WIMA about selecting capactiors for pulsed conditions. Link here The maximum permissible AC voltage that can be applied to capacitors in sinusoidal waveform applications, can be determined from the graphs in the respective capacitor ranges. However, where pulse conditions exists, the following procedure is to be observed to ensure that the correct capacitor […]
