1. General Description of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of cathode aluminum foil, capacitor paper (electrolytic paper), electrolyte, and an aluminum oxide layer, which acts as the dielectric, formed on the anode foil surface.
The equivalent series resistance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors varies with the frequency of the AC signal. As a result, the ripple current capability, which is determined by the induced power loss, is also a function of the frequency.
The essential property of a capacitor is to store electrical charge. The amount of electrical charge (Q) in the capacitor (C) is proportional to the applied voltage (U). d = thickness of the dielectric (oxide layer in aluminum capacitors) (m). Characteristics of aluminum capacitors vary with temperature, time and applied voltage.
Smaller or low voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitors may be connected in parallel without any safety correction action. Large sizes capacitors, especially large sizes and high voltage types, should be individually guarded against sudden energy charge of the whole capacitor bank due to a failed specimen.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors tend to have larger values of equivalent series resistance (ESR). A capacitor is physically created when two conductors are separated by an insulator known as a dielectric.
One reason could be the following: During the operation of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with non-solid electrolyte, there is a small quantity of hydrogen developed in the component. Under nor-mal conditions, this gas permeates easily out of the capacitor.
