Power capacitors: fundamentals of power capacitors
Power capacitors are constructed of several smaller capacitors commonly referred to as "elements," "windings" or "packs." These elements are formed from multiple layers of aluminum foil (conductors) and polypropylene film (dielectric) wound together. When interconnected, multiple elements combine to function as a single capacitor unit. Elements are connected in …
