When 400V Circuits Need a Reliable Partner
If you’re designing industrial motor drives or renewable energy inverters, meet KEMET/BHC ALS30A682NP400N – the 6800µF/400V aluminum electrolytic capacitor that’s redefining power stability. With 85% of industrial equipment failures linked to capacitor degradation (2019 IEEE report), this component’s 10,000-hour lifespan at 105°C makes it the armored truck of energy storage.
Wind Turbine Test Case: 30% Fewer Shutdowns
When a Chinese wind farm upgraded their 2MW turbines last year, they replaced generic 400V capacitors with ALS30A682NP400N. The result? Annual maintenance cycles stretched from 8 to 12 months, while voltage ripple stayed below 1.2% even in -25°C winters. Project lead Zhang Wei noted: ‘These capacitors handle 150A RMS ripple current like it’s a morning jog – we’ve eliminated 30% of unscheduled shutdowns.’
Designed for the Real World
- Snap-in terminals that survive 5N mechanical vibration (tested per IEC 60068-2-6)
- Self-healing electrolyte extends life by 20% vs. standard models
- 3mm shorter than competitors – fits cramped EV charging modules
Next time your high-voltage design hits a snag, remember: this 35x50mm powerhouse could be the missing link between ‘functional’ and ‘bulletproof’.
