6 FAQs about [How to use high voltage ceramic capacitors]

What is the capacitance of a ceramic capacitor?

Higher ceramic capacitor values vary from 1 pF to about 1 µF, with a working ceramic capacitor voltage rating of up to a few thousand volts. Typical film capacitors have capacitances ranging from below 1 nF to 30 µF. They can be made in voltage ratings as low as 50 V, up to above 2 kV. Better DF and Q values.

Can a ceramic capacitor withstand a large voltage?

Small capacitance values can withstand voltages as large as 1 kV. Depending on temperature range, temperature drift and tolerance, ceramic capacitors have two active classes: Class 1 and Class 2. A ceramic disc capacitor. (Image: Wikimedia / Elcap.) Ceramic capacitors are available in disc packages with radial leads.

What is a ceramic capacitor used for?

The easy-to-mold feature of ceramic material is the reason for the production of precise and larger forms of ceramic capacitors for high-voltage, high-frequency (RF), and power applications. Multilayer ceramic (MLCC) and ceramic disc capacitors are the two forms of ceramic capacitors used in modern electronics. Are ceramic capacitors AC or DC?

Can a ceramic capacitor be used in AC circuits?

Since a ceramic capacitor is a non-polarized capacitor, it can be easily used in AC circuits. Ceramic capacitors are produced with a capacitance ranging from 10pF to 100F with DC operating voltages ranging from 10 volts to 5000 volts. To reduce RF noise. These capacitors are connected in parallel with a DC motor to reduce interference and noise.

Can a ceramic capacitor be conditioned?

For most capacitors, a physically conditioned dielectric strength or a breakdown voltage usually could be specified for each dielectric material and thickness. This is not possible with ceramic capacitors.

Are ceramic capacitors suitable for higher frequencies?

Ceramic capacitors, which are available in the range of very small capacitance values (pF and higher) are already out of their smaller capacitance values suitable for higher frequencies up to several 100 MHz (see formula above).
