What are film capacitors?

The "film capacitors" were developed together with the growing market of broadcast and electronic equipment technology in the mid-20th century. These capacitors are standardized under the rules of IEC/EN 60384-1 "Capacitors for use in electronic equipment" and different "film materials" have their own sub standards, the IEC/EN 60384- n series.

What is the global film capacitor market?

The global film capacitor market is analyzed across various segments including product and type. On the basis of product, the market is categorized into AC and DC. Depending on type, the market is bifurcated into paper film capacitor and plastic film capacitor.

Which is the largest manufacturer of plastic film capacitors in India?

The present capacity of 1.2 billion pcs/annum makes Deki the largest manufacturer of plastic film capacitors in India. Its capacitors are currently exported to Europe, Hong Kong, China, Middle East, Malaysia, Philippines and South Korea. Deki has been growing at an average annualised growth rate of 29 per cent year on year since 1989-90.

What are the raw materials for capacitor films?

The preferred choice of raw materials for capacitor films are polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PP is independent of frequency and temperature (<105°C) and has a high impulse stability – therefore it can be used in AC and DC applications.

What is LPC capacitor made of?

LPC capacitors are manufactured with low loss metallized self-healing polypropylene film. (The rest of the passage describes the filling material of dry type capacitors, which is not related to the question.)

What is a WEG power factor correction capacitor?

WEG power factor correction capacitors are developed with self-healing metalized polypropylene films and have a safety interrupting device for internal overpressure protection. They are capacitors for use in electronics and are used mainly in electronic circuits.
