Why is VC capacitor a small and high withstand voltage capacitor?

It becomes a small and high withstand voltage capacitor by keeping vacuum insulation. The cur-rent capacity of VCs is therefore, more than 100Arms, and the withstand voltage of VCs is a one-tenth than the atmosphere distance by the vac-uum insulation, so a large current can be supplied in a compact size.

What is the voltage rating of a vacuum capacitor?

The vacuum capacitor (shown to comparitive scale) also has a voltage rating of 5 kV peak, but is variable from 10 to 1000 pF (100:1 range). It is 77.5 mm in diameter at its widest point, and is 171 mm long excluding the control shaft.

How many volts can a capacitor withstand?

If you ignore the small forward volt drop of the diode you can say that there is 6.38 volts across C0002 and C0004 and 6.38 volts across C0001 and C0003. If the rating is 100 volts then the capacitors can withstand 100 volts on each meaning 200 volts at the point marked "ESD pulse". This assumes the capacitors are perfectly matched.

How big is a vacuum capacitor?

It is 77.5 mm in diameter at its widest point, and is 171 mm long excluding the control shaft. Notwithstanding its advantages in terms of dimensions and variation range, the vacuum capacitor can be expected to have an ESR considerably smaller than that of the air capacitor, and being more compact has a much smaller inductance.

What is a vacuum variable capacitor?

Vacuum variable capacitor A vacuum variable capacitor is a variable capacitor which uses a high vacuum as the dielectric instead of air or other insulating material. This allows for a higher voltage rating using a smaller total volume. There are several different designs in vacuum variables.

What happens if a capacitor exceeds its maximum voltage?

Using a capacitor beyond its maximum voltage can lead to damage, reduced performance, or even failure of the capacitor, compromising the entire circuit.
