Capacitors can be damaged in many ways, including
internal faults or external overloads that can cause an
explosion, especially in devices like AC film capacitors
with relatively high energy content. There are several
design options to prevent this, such as an internal pressure
interrupter. Film and foil capacitors are typically
potted for internal protection with a very soft, gel type
material.
ELANTAS Europe offers a broad portfolio of epoxy
and polyurethane compounds to ensure the safety and
reliability of these capacitors, ranging from very soft
to rigid and stiff materials.
