Product information "ER Series Film Capacitors"
Cornell Dubilier CDE (formerly NWL)’s ER-Series polypropylene DC link film capacitors offer a distinct alternative to small round cans, both film and electrolytic, with high capacitance density power in an economical standard package. The rectangular aluminum package with various mounting bracket options enables the capacitor to be operated in a variety of orientations. Component inventory, integration, and installation are streamlined as a result.
ER-Series capacitors are well suited for many inverter applications including:
- DC input / output filtering
- DC link
- AC harmonic filtering
- High energy storage pulse
Unique features of the ER-Series capacitor include:
- Standard economic package – With standard terminals and case construction, Cornell Dubilier CDE created automated assembly to enhance production efficiency.
- Unique stackable bracket design – Welded metal brackets enable capacitors to be mounted and stacked on floor or wall vertically or horizontally. Three bracket versions are available.
- Robust, rugged, and reliable construction – ER-Series capacitors are used in numerous high reliability, mission-critical applications such as renewable energy inverters.
- Inverter design flexibility – Compact design and mounting options give designs more component layout alternatives.
Knowles Corporation is a global provider of high performance capacitors and radio frequency (RF) products, balanced armature speakers, advanced micro-acoustic microphones, and audio solutions. The Company's segments include Precision Devices (PD), and Medtech & Specialty Audio (MSA). The PD segment specializes in the design and delivery of high-performance capacitor products and RF solutions primarily serving the defense, medtech, electric vehicle, and industrial markets. The MSA segment designs and manufactures balanced armature speakers and microphones used in applications that serve the hearing health and premium audio markets. The Company sells its products directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and to their contract manufacturers and suppliers and through distributors worldwide.
Knowles also continues the legacy of NWL and Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) with a broad portfolio of advanced capacitor technology that is used in demanding industrial applications, e.g., custom, high-voltage DC and AC film capacitors for pulsed power and power conversion applications, including water-cooled devices, capacitors for fast switching IGBTs, DC link capacitors, air-cooled capacitors for harmonic AC or high-voltage DC filtering, DC filter and DC pulse capacitors or oil-filled capacitors for pulse power and power conditioning applications.
