DC Filter Capacitors
ET
Vishay ESTA
TYPE ET
These capacitors are manufactured using a mixed dielectric
material that consists of polyester/polypropylene film and
capacitor tissue. They are impregnated and filled with a
mineral oil. The container is a Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper
tube sealed at both ends with resin assuring hermetic
sealing. The capacitors are terminated with M5 *12 mm
studs or tinned copper wire.
Note
The impregnant used is a non toxic highly refined, purified and
inhibited mineral oil.
APPLICATIONS
The ET range is specifically designed for high voltage filters
and can be successfully used in the following
applications:
By-pass
Coupling
Filter applications
X-ray power supplies
Electrostatic air deaners
TEMPERATURE RANGE
Temperature range is - 55 °C to + 85 °C. Derating is
required for operation at higher temperatures.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
Capacitance will increase by 2 % per 100 °C temperature
rise.
CAPACITANCE RANGE
0.0005 μF to 2 μF. The tolerance is ± 10 %. Other tolerances
are available on request. Nominal values measured at 1 kHz.
VOLTAGE RANGE
1000 VDC to 70 000 VDC
RIPPLE
The sum of the peak ripple voltage and the DC voltage
should not exceed the rated voltage. Refer to graph fig.1 for
permissible peak-to-peak ripple voltage as a percentage of
rated voltage for various frequencies.
Fig. 1
POWER FACTOR
The power factor is variable, and is a function of temperature
and frequency see fig. 2. Nominal value < 0.5 % at 20 °C
Fig. 2
DIELECTRIC RESISTANCE
(Parallel resistance) is indicated by the graph of insulance
(MΩ x μF) vs temperature fig. 3. The insulance (MÉ1 x μF) is
nominally 10 000 s at + 20 °C. (Measurements taken after
1 minute with an applied voltage of 500 V)
Fig. 3
LIFE EXPECTANCY
ET type capacitors are designed for a life exceptancy of
5000 h at 65 °C. To achieve the same life expectancy at
85 °C derate to 60 % of rated voltage fig. 4.

TEST VOLTAGE
Terminal/terminal (Vt/t)
For DC rating < 20 kV
Vt/t = 2.0 x rated voltage 60 s
For DC rating > 20 kV
Vt/t = 1.5 x rated voltage 60 s
WEIGHT
The approximate weight in grams may be calculated by
multiplying the volume of the capacitor container by
1.2 x 10-3.
TERMINATIONS
Add suffix W to part No. To indicate wire terminations.
CAPACITANCE
Capacitance tolerance of 20 % is standard with those
marked.
DIMENSIONS in millimeters
Notes
(1) Capacitance tolerance of 20 % is standard
Non standard size containers can be supplied on request
