Introduction

High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors

TPC

HIGH VOLTAGE CERAMIC CAPACITORS are particularly

suitable for applications requiring a high voltage (from 10

to 150 kV), while reactive current remains low. Ceramic

capacitors also achieve very good performance under pulse

and discharge conditions.

Various disc types cover a wide range of capacitances and

voltages as shown in the following figure. Specific pr operties

depend on the dielectric material used.

Other configurations such as rods (HF type), cascades (HC

type) are used to meet specific applications.

Introduction

General Characteristics

TPC

The real characteristics of a capacitor can be described

using conventional physical parameters and the following

equivalent electrical circuit:

C capacitance is a measure of the capacitors aptitude

to store electrical charges Q under a voltage V

(C = Q/V).

K the dielectric constant, specific to each material

(less than 500 for type I materials, from 1000 up to

10,000 for type II materials),

A the area of the electrodes, and

t the thickness of the dielectric layer are the parame-

ters determining the capacitor value

C = K A(K = er)

T.C. the temperature coefficient of the capacitance is

expressed in ppm/°C for stable type I dielectrics.

DC/C is used for type II dielectrics and is expressed in %

of change of the capacitance in a fixed temperature

range.

VRthe rated voltage is the maximum voltage that can

be applied to the capacitor on continuous opera-

tion. It can be constituted by:

VDC a direct current component

VRMS an alternating current component

VPthe peak voltage

VEthe test voltage

RPthe parallel resistance

IR the insulation resistance under VDC.

RSor ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) accounts for

the conductivity of the electrodes and connections.

LSor ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) depends on

the geometry of electrodes dielectric and connec-

tions, leads...

CPtakes into account dielectric environment of the

capacitor (coating...) but is generally neglected

except to describe very high frequency behavior of

the capacitor or for very low capacitance value.

Rp, Rs, Ls, Cp can be considered as parasitic

effects. They generate energy losses and a

dephasing

jdifference between voltage and current from 90°.

The loss angle d(90° - j) is commonly used.

tg dthe tangent of loss angle

DF the dissipation factor (same as tg d)

Q the quality factor is the ratio between the stored

energy and the dissipated energy. It measures the

quality of the capacitor and can be expressed as

Q = 1/tg dor 1/D.F.

ƒ being the frequency of the AC signal

wthe pulsation of this signal with w= 2pƒ

Z the complex impedance of the capacitor is given by

the relation (neglecting Cp):

Z = RS+ j LSw+ 1= R + j X

1 + j Cw

the tangent of the loss angle tg dcan also be

expressed as tg d=R

so, neglecting Ls for LSw<1

C w

tg d= RSCw+1 + 1

RPCwR2

PCw

ƒRS the series resonance frequency of the capacitor is

the frequency where the capacitance reactance is

exactly equal to the inductive reactance due to LS

LSw=1 or w=1 or ƒRS =1

CwLSC2pLSC

ƒRP the parallel resonance frequency occurs when LSis

equal to CP:ƒRP =1

2pLSCP

Between ƒRS and ƒRP, the capacitor reacts as an

inductance, but still blocks DC.

The equivalent electrical circuit can be simplified

using approximations according to the frequency:

- At ƒ = ƒRS the circuit is reduced to

Z = RS

- For high frequencies but below ƒRS

Z = RS+1/jCw

tg d= RSCw

- For low frequencies Z = 1

1 + jCw

tg d= 1

RPCw

IRMS is the maximum RMS current that can be transmit-

ted by the capacitor electrodes

WRis defined as the maximum reactive power and is

expressed by WR= V2RMS Cw=I2RMS

WAis the active power or dissipated power

WA= WRtg d= (2pƒCV2)(DF)

Introduction

Dielectrics - Paraelectric and Type II - General Application

PARAELECTRIC DIELECTRICS -

GENERAL

These strontium-based dielectrics exhibit a high dielectric

constant (>1500) and excellent electrical properties including

high dielectric strength, low dissipation factor and low

capacitance change with applied voltage.

They are particularly suitable for high energy discharges

applications as they present no electro-striction or piezo-

electric phenomenon.

TYPE II DIELECTRICS - GENERAL

(with non-specific temperature coefficient)

Type II dielectrics are characterized by a high permitivity

(higher than 1000), giving large capacitance with small size.

They are particularly suitable for filtering, decoupling and any

applications for which capacitance changes and dielectric

losses are of lesser importance.

They also present a drift effect of the capacitance as shown

below due to natural aging of the ceramic dielectric.

High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors

General Characteristics

HIGH VOLTAGE USES AND

REQUIREMENTS

• High voltage uses are numerous but they can be divided

into 3 main applications:

- high voltage / AC or power frequency

- high voltage / DC

- high energy pulses

• Each of them r equires specific properties leading to the use

of different kinds of ceramic dielectrics and product types.

HIGH VOLTAGE / AC USES

• The main applications include live line indicators, AC

dividers, grading systems for power distribution network,

protection for HV switches and power circuit breakers.

Coupling, by-passing high frequencies circuits where an

important reactive power is needed also use ceramic HV

capacitors.

• These applications require:

- a high internal resistance

- a high dielectric strength

together with:

- low or moderate losses at working frequencies (from

50 Hz up to a few kHz).

The active power (or losses) being:

Wa = 2PFC ⭈tg d⭈V2= k (C⭈tg d) (F⭈V2),

this shows that improved performance is obtained

when both

• good dielectric properties (low tg d) and

• no long term overvoltage occurs

- capacitors free of “partial discharge” (corona) effect,

up to rated rms voltage.

TPC is able to perform discharge free test and may

guarantee a rate as low as 5 picocoulombs at Vrms

upon request.

• High voltage capacitors for AC uses are mainly made of

type II dielectrics. These materials exhibit a significant non-

linearity: the capacitance value depends on the voltage

across the component and on the fr equency of the applied

signal.

HIGH VOLTAGE / DC USES

• The main applications are coupling, decoupling, multipliers

circuits, HV DC power supplies.

• They require

- a high internal resistance, even at elevated temper-

ature

- a very high dielectric strength

- a low ripple current

• Type I or type II capacitors can be used depending on the

particular application.

HIGH ENERGY PULSES

• Laser pulses circuitry, high energy/high voltage test equip-

ment (HV accelerators, physics research) require products

especially adapted to their specific requirements.

• Because of the high energy involved, the design of the

capacitors have to provide:

- a very low ESR (equivalent series resistance) to mini-

mize the lossed energy

SR ⭈⌱

2) di

- a very low ESL (equivalent series inductance) to keep

the correct pulse shape.

Typically, TPC products exhibit

ESR 10 m½

ESL 30 nH

peak current up to 50 kA

- a high withstanding of very large dV

dt or short signal rise

time

- a high energy density J

J = 1

2k eoerE2

even under high electric field, implying that eris very

little voltage dependent.

Through the use of almost linear or non-voltage

dependent capacitors, the stored energy can r each 50

to 100 J/liter for TPC products.

• To ensure these properties, traditional ferroelectric type II

capacitors cannot be used due to their electrostrictive and

piezoelectric properties. TPC capacitors use quasi “para-

electric”, strontium-based, ceramic material.

TPC

High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors

Custom Designed Live-Line Dividers

APPLICATIONS

TPC is able to study and design live-line dividers to customers

specifications, up to 150 KVrms.

They can be used for:

- voltage presence indication

- voltage presence alarm

- voltage measurement

PRINCIPLE OF USE

• Using the following equivalent circuit

with: VR: rated voltage of the line

Vd: low voltage output

C1: low voltage / high value capacitor

C2: high voltage / low value capacitor

Zm: measuring impedance

Zt: impedance of C1at 50/60 Hz

the low voltage output is obtained by

the ratio being adjusted to the expected value.

• For measurement application, the measurement impe-

dance Zm must be larger than at least 10 times Ztin order

not to affect the dividing ratio where:

FEATURES

The high and low voltage elements can be supplied either

separately or in the same molding.

The capacitor divider ratio can be adjusted between 1/200

and 1/10 together with a tolerance that can be as tight

as 2%.

The products can be developed for rated line voltage from

10kV up to 150 KVrms.
