Capacitors are widely used electrical devices with versatile applications. Primarily, it stores electrical energy in the form of electrical field. Working as a temporary energy reservoir, energy storage is the basic principle with a wide scope of application in many electrical and electronic devices. From motor starting in fans to noise reduction in communication devices, these are critical parts of our daily lives. We at Indtech are the prominent Capacitor Manufacturers in India, providing a diverse range of capacitors in multiple variants to suit the specific needs of our customers. In this blog, we will share the many uses and applications of capacitors.
Uses of Capacitors
Energy Storage
The capacitors store energy by accumulating charge on their consecutive plates, which are separated by the insulating material. The dielectric strength, charge and area between plates define the capacitance value of the capacitor.
Power Factor Correction
The inductive loads from motors and transformers may create a lag in current corresponding to the voltage supplied in AC circuits. The capacitor corrects this lag by connecting in series with inductive loads and thereby improves the power factor using the supplied power efficiently. Metalized Plastic film/Polypropylene (MPP) technology is best for low power factor correction.
Signal Coupling/Decoupling
In signal coupling or decoupling, the capacitors allow the passing of AC signals while blocking DC signals and provide a low impedance path for it respectively. Decoupling is necessary for noise reduction and to balance the voltage fluctuations.
Filtering Signals
Capacitors have high-pass or low-pass filters, which create low-impedance or high-impedance paths for signals. This filters out low-frequency signals and allows passage of high-frequency signals and vice versa.
Applications of Capacitors
Capacitors are essential in starting and sustaining the motion of motors, smoothening the voltage, and storing energy.
