 1. Induction Heating / Melting / Forging Applications

Induction heating systems require components capable of handling substantial currents at medium to high frequencies. Reliability under demanding thermal loads is paramount. Exxelia offers specialized power film capacitors designed explicitly for these environments.

Exxelia Alcon power capacitorsOur induction heating capacitor solutions provide the necessary capacitance and current handling for resonant tank circuits in induction furnaces and forging equipment. The FP-8C-1500 power capacitors series, for example, is a water cooled power film capacitor designed for high reactive power applications, delivering exceptional performance and thermal stability. For applications requiring significant current handling up to higher frequencies, the FP-20-400-SP powers capacitors offers robust performance. 

When searching for a dependable induction furnace capacitor or a capacitor for induction melting, Exxelia components like the FP-8C-1500 power capacitors ensure stable operation. Our designs cater to requirements needing a high current capacitor 1 MHz capability, ensuring efficiency and longevity in your heating systems. Choose Exxelia for your next induction heating capacitor requirement.

 


2. Industrial RF & Plasma Generators

Radio Frequency (RF) and plasma generation systems operate at high frequencies where component characteristics like low inductance and high Q-factor are critical for efficiency and performance. Exxelia designs power film capacitors optimized for these specific operational demands.

Exxelia Alcon power capacitorsThe FP-5F-200 power capacitors series serves as an excellent RF generator capacitor and plasma generator capacitor, engineered with a low inductance film capacitor construction. This minimizes parasitic inductance (ESL), crucial for maintaining signal integrity and efficiency at high frequencies. Designed as a water cooled capacitor 500 V (typical operating voltage range), it manages thermal dissipation effectively during continuous operation. 

The inherent design provides a high-Q power film capacitor solution, minimizing energy loss in resonant circuits common in RF and plasma applications. For engineers specifying an RF capacitor for plasma, the FP-5F-200 power capacitors offers a technically sound solution focused on performance and reliability.

 

 


3. Traction / High-Power Resonant Converters

Modern traction systems and high-power industrial converters, including resonant topologies and cycloconverters, demand capacitors with high power density, exceptional reliability, and robust thermal management. Exxelia addresses these needs with specifically designed power film capacitors.

Exxelia Alcon power capacitorsThe FP-31-1000 power capacitors represents a solution suitable as a traction inverter capacitor or resonant converter capacitor. Its design considers the demanding electrical and environmental conditions found in transportation and heavy industrial applications. Often utilized as a cycloconverter capacitor, it offers stability and long operational life. 

Cooling is critical; options like a locomotive capacitor water cooled design or a hybrid cooled film capacitor configuration ensure thermal performance meets system requirements. The FP-31-1000 provides the high capacitance and voltage ratings necessary for these high-power DC-link or resonant applications. Specify Exxelia for your next [traction inverter capacitor] design.

 

 


4. High-Frequency Welding & Brazing

High-frequency welding and brazing equipment requires capacitors that can perform reliably at frequencies often extending into the hundreds of kilohertz, while handling significant currents. Exxelia provides solutions adapted to different cooling strategies employed in these machines.

Exxelia Alcon power capacitorsWhether you need a standard welding capacitor or a specialized high frequency welding capacitor, Exxelia has suitable options. The FP-20-400-SP power capacitors series includes configurations optimized as a conduction cooled capacitor, ideal for systems where direct water cooling is not feasible but efficient heat transfer via a cold plate is required. For higher power systems or those demanding maximum thermal efficiency, the FP-8C-1500 power capacitors water-cooled series serves effectively as a brazing machine capacitor. 

These components are designed to function reliably as a capacitor for 400 kHz welder applications, providing the low-loss performance needed at such frequencies. Consider Exxelia for your welding capacitor and brazing capacitor needs, with options like the conduction-cooled FP-20-400-SP .
