Product information "WAC Series Film Capacitors"
Cornell Dubilier CDE (formerly NWL)’s WAC-Series DC voltage capacitors offer a superior performance in a high capacitance welded case package. By utilizing water cooling as the heat management system, this product is ideally suited for the most demanding applications requiring high RMS ripple current ratings, warm cabinet environments, and large capacitance values.
Cornell Dubilier CDE’s WAC-Series DC water cooled capacitors provide solutions in a few critical applications including:
- DC filtering
- DC blocking
Over 100 electrical configurations are currently available in a welded package, with the following features and options available upon request:
- Pressure switches
- Internal discharge resistors
- Live or dead case construction
- Single to multiple fine-tuning values per capacitor
- Choice of bracket style and location
- Choice of terminal connections
Unique features of the WAC-Series capacitor include:
- Terminal Options – By designing capacitor with a variety of terminal layout, WAC-Series capacitors can achieve maximum RMS ripple currents and keep inductance low.
- Large welded metal package – Utilizing well established and proven high K oil filling process, these welded aluminum cans house large capacitance values in excess of 250 lbs per unit.
- Welded package – By taking advantage of an already provided welded metal can, Cornell Dubilier CDE can provide additional brackets for accessory components required near the bulk capacitance value and avoid additional structures in assembly.
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.
