Managing Self-Heating of Capacitors in EV Applications

Managing self-heating of capacitor components in typical EV applications

This webinar will be hosted by CHARGED on Wednesday, June 26th, at 11am US EDT.

As EV use continues to grow and evolve, Knowles Precision Devices is increasingly being asked about managing the self-heating of capacitor components.

In this webinar, we’ll cover why capacitors self-heat, offer tips for managing heat and discuss how factors like spacing, capacitor thickness, air flow and mounting all play a role in heat control, as well as the commonly discussed ESR. We’ll also cover why bigger, thicker capacitors are beneficial and how Knowles Precision Devices’ low-loss C0G dielectrics are well-suited to provide high-temperature AEC-Q200 capacitors required for EV applications.
