Embodiment Construction

[0034] exist figure 1 A metallized film polymer ring capacitor with a single power conversion component is shown in . The annular capacitor body 101 has a variable center hole radius, allowing the power conversion component 102 to be tailored to specific specifications, leaving the necessary space for the component's upper terminal 104 , lower terminal 103 and output terminal 105 . exist figure 1 In , the terminals are positioned for the shortest possible path using typical commercially available power conversion components. The outer diameter and thickness of the ring capacitor can then be selected to achieve the desired capacitance for the power conversion application. exist Figure 1BThe thickness of the ring capacitor is indicated in (address). The depth of the ring capacitor 101 is made to match the height of the power conversion component 102 so that the terminals 103 and 104 can maintain the shortest distance for connection to the capacitor and thus the lowest con...

Abstract

The formation of an assembled unit consisting of an annular capacitor [a wound, metallized dielectric capacitor in the shape of a closed path ring] with other power conversion components arranged and attached in manners uniquely allowed by the ring design will allow higher density converter designs [power / unit volume]. The resulting short connection paths between the capacitor element and the switching semiconductors also provide a very low inductance path that minimizes voltage spikes on the switching semiconductors as a result of turn-off di / dt. The capacitor serves as a short time current source and sink for the switching semiconductors. With the described configuration the RMS current seen by the capacitor can be made more volumetrically uniform enabling more uniform capacitor rise. The single capacitor configured as described also mitigates bus resonance problems often observed in prior art when multiple discrete capacitors are connected in parallel.
