High Temperature
Film Capacitors

This product family is utilized for drilling and pumping equipment in the oil, gas, and geothermal industries, and also supports specialty aerospace applications and military.

High Reliability Film Capacitors up to 200°C

The Advanced Conversion High Temperature Film product line is a result of a partnership with W. L. Gore & Associates.

Advanced Conversion is the exclusive supplier of this technology featuring GORE® High Temperature Film to the Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Energy Markets. We are only one of two suppliers to all other industry applications.

This patented technology is unique in its ability to combine self-healing, resistance to extreme vibration and shock, and ability to run reliably for over 1000 hours at 200°C.

We currently offer 400V and 600V operating voltage versions with 800 and 1200V versions in development.

Many “wrap and fill” parts are available now for your high temperature testing. These are typically implemented as banks/arrays to create the desired final capacitance and voltage for the system.

These parts are a simple way to test some of the characteristics and to understand the capacitance bank value desired. Once you have determined your full system needs, you can order more of these standard parts or our team can design a custom space efficient single ring solution.

Most are available in stock either direct or at one of our distributors.

All of the Advanced Conversion winding shapes (Power Rings) and connection systems (integrated capacitor – bus) are also possible.

FAQs

What is the highest voltage rating for these parts?

8 kV per individual capacitor with no “de-rating” typically needed.

Yes and our applications engineering team can assist you with these designs.

Up to 250,000 A peak current is possible.

The capacitors can be custom ordered with a mountable bracket or by using the available core hole and washers.

Lifetime is very dependent on repetition rate, voltage swing, and peak current. It is also affected by the environmental temperature. Many of our capacitors have millions of shot life demonstrated in demanding applications. Please contact our applications engineering team to discuss your application lifetime needs.
