Extended Multi Mini Capacitor

Terry Fritz tested and destroyed a number of Panasonic capacitors in the process of defining starting guidelines for this configuration. For further information, pictures, and technical papers check out Terry's ftp site at http://users.better.org/tfritz/

I designed my assembly with a number of criteria in mind:

bullet

Easily re configurable

bullet

Repairable at the module level and component level

bullet

10% additional safety margin (above what I have had success with)

 

I used the following Capacitors:

bullet

Panasonic ECW-H16563JV (ECWH series)

bullet

(Digi-Key P/N P10516-ND)

bullet

High Voltage Metalized Polypropylene Film Capacitors

bullet

.056ufd

bullet

1,600VDC (1,200Vp-p)

In the first pictures you can see the individual modules. Each module consists of 22 caps arranged in two strings of 11. This gives each module .010ufd and by placing two modules back-to-back each sub assembly is .020ufd. I took time to insure the voltage potentials on opposing modules was minimized (by making them mirror images of each other)

Here you can see the assembly set up as .040uf  I have two more identical boxes and 15 more modules for a total of .18ufd and a spare module.
