AI Customer ServiceA capacitor bank is a group of several capacitors of the same rating that are connected in series or parallel to store electrical energy in an electric power system.
AI Customer ServiceThe voltage rating is the maximum voltage that a capacitor is meant to be exposed to and can store. Some say a good engineering practice is to choose a capacitor that has double the voltage rating than the power supply voltage you will use to charge it.
A capacitor with a 12V rating or higher would be used in this case. In another, 50 volts may be needed. A capacitor with a 50V rating or higher would be used. This is why capacitors come in different voltage ratings, so that they can supply circuits with different voltages, fitting the power (voltage) needs of the circuit.
Capacitors have a maximum voltage, called the working voltage or rated voltage, which specifies the maximum potential difference that can be applied safely across the terminals. Exceeding the rated voltage causes the dielectric material between the capacitor plates to break down, resulting in permanent damage to the capacitor.
Adequate safety margins should be used when choosing capacitor voltage ratings for an application, with higher safety factors for critical reliability. General guidelines include: Minimum 2x margin between working voltage and rated voltage for general purpose capacitors. Minimum 10-20% margin for capacitors in power supplies and power conversion.
So if a capacitor is going to be exposed to 25 volts, to be on the safe side, it's best to use a 50 volt-rated capacitor. Also, note that the voltage rating of a capacitor is also referred to at times as the working voltage or maximum working voltage (of the capacitor).
The voltage at which the capacitors are applied can vary +5% or even up to +10%. Voltage less than nominal is not a concern for as the lower voltage will result in lower capacitor current. Harmonics can create additional current flow in the capacitors any where from +20% to +35% of the rated current.
