8. Other capacitor types
In this section, we briefly present a few other types of power capacitors used in electrical networks. Although their manufacture is similar to that of devices designed to improve power factor, we focus on showing how they differ from the units studied above.
8.1 Capacitors for induction heating systems
Capacitors used to power induction furnaces are characterized by the following two points.
They are not connected to a network, but to an industrial installation where atmospheric or switching surges are not significant. They are therefore built with a lower safety margin.
-
They can be used at high frequencies up to 24,000 Hz. At these frequencies, dielectric...
