How LKE Low-ESR Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Solve the High-Frequency Ripple and Heat Loss Problems in Electric Forklifts

 

Introduction

A listed electric forklift manufacturer reported that its products experienced machine stalling, restarting, and MOSFET burnout under complex operating conditions (such as frequent start-stop cycles and sudden load changes). The original solution used ordinary aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which overheated severely under high-frequency, high-ripple current surges, resulting in a rapid decline in lifespan and insufficient energy buffering capacity of the power system to support the instantaneous power demands of the motor drive.

LKE Solution and Advantages

From an electrical principle perspective, frequent speed changes and steering of the motor generate extremely high-frequency ripple currents and transient current surges. Ordinary aluminum electrolytic capacitors, due to their excessively high ESR, experience severe heat loss under high-current conditions, leading to increased core temperature, electrolyte dehydration, decreased capacitance, and premature death. This failure mechanism directly causes fluctuations in the supply voltage, resulting in control system resets or damage to power devices.
