Inverter DC capacitor design

4 FAQs about [Inverter DC capacitor design]

What is a DC link capacitor in a power inverter?

The DC link capacitor is applied from positive to negative after rectification. In a power inverter, a DC link capacitor is placed in parallel with the input to minimize the effects of voltage variations as the load changes. The DC link capacitor also provides a low-impedance path for ripple currents generated by power switching circuits.

Which capacitor is used in the DC bus of an inverter?

Generally electrolytic and film capacitors are used in the dc bus of an inverter. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have high capacitance to volume ratio. This fact makes them ideal to decrease the dc bus voltage ripple (create a stiff dc bus voltage) and introduce high energy storage.

How do I choose the best capacitor for a power inverter?

Selection of the best capacitor for a power inverter or other DC link application usually begins with a comparison of the required capacitance and ripple currents. Make sure that the specs you are comparing are referenced to the same operational standards.

How to sizing capacitors for inverter bus link applications?

The first step in sizing capacitors for inverter bus link applications should be to understand how much bus link capacitance is required for a given inverter design. The biggest design limitation for electrolytic capacitors in inverter applications has been the amount of ripple current that the electrolytic capacitor can sustain.
