With an expanding social infrastructure comes an increasing dependence on electrical energy. Against this backdrop many technologies now considered “indispensable” have emerged. Devices like converters for electrical power, and power electronics that convert and control electricity.
In addition to their use in the field of electrical power, these technologies span a range of fields, including industrial equipment (machine tools, fans, etc.), automotive and rolling stock (traffic, rail transport, etc.), and electronic equipment (consumer electronics, office equipment, etc.).
What all these fields have in common is the use of power electronics to provide increased energy savings. Key to these energy savings in recent years has been the growing trend of power electronics equipment to use film capacitors, which are known for their high withstanding voltage, low loss, and high reliability.
