Power capacitors for industrial electronics and energy conversion

Supply of DC-Link capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, IGBT snubber capacitors and power capacitors for demanding industrial applications.

TOT POWER Iberia helps select capacitors for DC buses, filtering, energy storage, transient absorption, compensation, converters, inverters, drives, UPS systems and power electronics equipment.

Power capacitors for industrial applications supplied by TOT POWER Iberia

Industrial capacitors for DC-Link, filtering, snubber circuits, high ripple current, DC buses and energy conversion applications.

Technical selection

Industrial capacitors for filtering, storage and protection

Power capacitors are critical components in equipment where it is necessary to stabilise a DC bus, filter ripple current, absorb transients, reduce overvoltage, compensate reactive power or improve the electrical behaviour of converters and inverters.

They are commonly used in variable frequency drives, servo drives, rectifiers, solar inverters, UPS systems, industrial chargers, railway systems, induction equipment, welding equipment, power supplies, test benches, energy storage and industrial machinery.

TOT POWER Iberia supports engineering departments, equipment manufacturers, industrial maintenance companies and technical purchasing teams that need to locate a compatible capacitor, replace an existing reference or study an equivalent alternative.

Power electrolytic capacitors for DC buses and industrial power supplies
High capacitance

Electrolytic capacitors

Power electrolytic capacitors are used when high capacitance is required in a relatively compact volume. They are common in DC buses, power supplies, drives, chargers, rectifiers and equipment where the total capacitance of the system is a key factor.

Industrial formats with screw terminals, snap-in terminals, radial or axial terminals, and special executions can be studied depending on the application, voltage and mechanical requirements.

  • DC buses in converters.
  • Industrial power supplies.
  • Rectifiers and chargers.
  • Drives and UPS systems.
  • Renewable energy equipment.
  • Repair and maintenance of existing equipment.

Semiconductor protection

Snubber capacitors for IGBT

Snubber capacitors are used to protect power semiconductors against overvoltage, transients and voltage peaks generated during switching. They are particularly important in circuits with IGBT modules, power modules, fast diodes, thyristors and high-energy converters.

Correct capacitor selection helps reduce electrical stress on the semiconductor, improve switching stability and increase the reliability of the complete power assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about power capacitors

Does TOT POWER Iberia supply power capacitors from different manufacturers?

Yes. This page is focused on product and application. TOT POWER Iberia can study power capacitors and compatible alternatives according to the customer's technical data, without limiting the proposal to a specific brand.

Can you search for an equivalent from an old reference?

Yes. We can study alternatives based on the original reference, photograph, capacitance, voltage, ripple current, dimensions, technology and operating conditions.

What is the difference between a DC-Link capacitor and an electrolytic capacitor?

A DC-Link capacitor is designed to stabilise the DC bus and withstand ripple currents in converters and inverters. It can be film or electrolytic. Electrolytic capacitors offer high capacitance in a reduced volume, but service life, temperature and ripple current must be carefully reviewed.

What data is important when selecting a snubber capacitor for IGBT?

It is advisable to know voltage, capacitance, peak current, dV/dt, ESR, ESL, terminal type, mounting distance, associated IGBT module and switching conditions.

Can special capacitors be supplied according to specification?

Yes. We can study special solutions when enough data is available to define capacitance, voltage, current, frequency, format, terminals, temperature and service conditions.

When should film capacitors be used instead of electrolytic capacitors?

Film capacitors are usually preferred when low ESR, low ESL, high ripple current, good stability, long service life or robust switching behaviour are required. Electrolytic capacitors may be suitable when a high capacitance value is required in a compact volume.
