3.1 General
It is difficult and costly to produce capacitors that meet all the specifications for all power electronics capacitors. As a result, manufacturers have been obliged to create components adapted to each application.
Broadly speaking, there are two main families of capacitors:
those whose load voltage is continuous and unidirectional [filtering 3.2 , decoupling
