How to Select OBCDC-Link Capacitors for an 800V Platform? A Detailed Explanation of the Performance Advantages of YMIN’s CW3H Series Liquid Horn Capacitors

 

Introduction

Engineers, when designing DC-Link circuits for 800V OBC/DCDC applications, have you ever struggled with capacitor selection? Conventional high-voltage electrolytic capacitors are bulky and have a short lifespan, while film capacitors are expensive. Today, we’ll delve into a solution that strikes an excellent balance between performance and cost: YMIN’s CW3H Series Liquid Horn Capacitors.

800V Platform – Liquid Horn Capacitor Solution

-Core Requirements for DC-Link Capacitors in the 800V Platform-

High withstand voltage: Must withstand DC bus voltages up to 450V-500V and potential surges.

High ripple current: Under high-frequency switching conditions, capacitors must withstand significant ripple current without overheating.

Small size: Limited module space requires capacitors with a high volume-to-capacitance ratio.

Long life: The product must meet automotive-grade temperature life requirements and ensure a lifespan comparable to the vehicle.

- YMIN Solutions and Process Advantages -

The YMIN CW3H series precisely addresses these requirements through the following technological innovations:

Process Innovation: Utilizing a special riveting and winding process, the internal structure is optimized, achieving higher capacity within the same volume, or reducing the volume by approximately 20% within the same specifications.

Material Innovation: Utilizing a new low-loss electrolyte, the ESR is effectively reduced, thereby improving ripple current capability (up to 1.3 times the rated value), fundamentally controlling temperature rise and delaying aging.

Design Innovation: Adequate voltage margin design and strict quality control ensure stable operation for over 3,000 hours at temperatures up to 105°C, significantly improving reliability.

Specifications:

- Data Verification -

Laboratory data demonstrates that the CW3H series performs exceptionally well in several key tests:

Temperature Rise Test: At 1.3 times the rated ripple current, the core temperature rise remains stable, with no performance degradation.

Lifespan test: Continuous operation at 105°C results in over 3,000 hours.

Size Comparison: Compared to conventional products of the same specification, this product is significantly smaller.
