Engineering expertise.
Down to the tiniest detail.
This is the basis for extensive support. Thanks to decades of close co-operation with Japanese product developers and access to all internal manufacturer documents, our sales engineers can make well-founded statements on technically relevant issues.
The path to your optimum DC-Link solution.
We provide professional and extended advice on the selection of the most suitable capacitor for your application, taking into account the electrical performance, the available installation space, the fastest possible availability in urgent cases and, of course, the costs.
To do this, we analyse your load profile and consider
The core temperature increase
The effect of voltage and current peaks on the service life
The expected number of cycles for repetitive charge-discharge applications
The expected lifetime at your specific load or under different configurations
The possible optimisations through cooling to enable exceptional current-carrying capacities.
Saving costs and installation space
In order to avoid unnecessary oversizing and cost increases for your DC-Link bank and notwithstanding loads that are often beyond the official specifications, we check very carefully which overloads are still acceptable and above which point a different capacitor is required in order to achieve the required lifetime.

Laboratory and testing facilities.
In addition to leakage current measurements, the typical tests include
ESR vs. frequency vs. temperature
Load and overload tests
Testing of customised or abnormal load conditions
Accelerated lifetime tests
Investigation of field returns - estimates of remaining service life
Installation of thermocouples for stock items and samples
Tests with active cooling
Comparison test with competitor products
Investigation of damaged capacitors - request root cause analysis & support!
In cooperation with the manufacturer, we also examine defective capacitors and strive to identify the possible root cause of the failure. In particular, the basic materials are checked for their properties and specifications in order to rule out serial defects.
