hv capacitor

hv capacitor: high voltage ceramic capacitors. The main advantages of high voltage ceramic capacitors are small size, high voltage withstand, stable performance, no oil, no gas, no pollution and no flammable and explosive hazards.Generally refers to more than 1kV capacitance, or more than 10kV capacitance. The common brands are TDK, check hv capacitors.

What is a HV capacitor?

High voltage capacitors are passive electronic components that store charge and energy for use in high voltage applications. They consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. Film capacitors are high voltage capacitors made out of plastic.

How dangerous is a microwave capacitor?

Under 50v is considered a non-dangerous level. Microwave capacitors charge to very high voltage levels, and could possibly be a cause of concern if handling them without care or while in the process of trouble shooting the circuit.

What does a capacitor do in a microwave oven?

Microwave capacitors are used as tuning elements, or as components in simple or complex filter structures. Used as a tuning element, a high tolerance is often required on a low capacitance value. Used as a DC block or bypass, usually all that you will care about is a that your RF signal sees a low impedance.
