CRE NEW ENERGY will exhibit at Electronica 2026 in Munich, Germany, from November 10–13 at Hall A6, Booth 353. Discover the DKMJ-S DC-Link capacitor series for high-power conversion, MKMJ-S pulse capacitors for high-energy discharge systems, and DEMJ-PC pulse capacitors for automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Meet the CRE team to discuss film capacitor solutions for inverters, renewable energy, rail traction, industrial pulse-power systems and medical electronics.

In a resonant converter or induction-heating supply, a capacitor may carry a large alternating current while the input power appears modest. That is why ESR deserves attention early in the design.

Resonant capacitors are central to the performance of high-power LC networks. In an induction heater, resonant converter, inverter, or switching power stage, they repeatedly exchange energy with an inductor rather than simply smoothing a DC rail. That makes capacitance only one part of the decision.

Resonant Capacitors are essential to efficient power conversion because they exchange energy with inductors at a controlled frequency. Rather than simply smoothing a DC bus or absorbing an occasional transient, they become part of the main power-transfer path.

IGBT Snubber Capacitors are selected to control the voltage overshoot and ringing that appear when an IGBT commutates current in a real, inductive power loop. The task is not simply to choose the largest capacitance or the highest voltage rating.

Ordering a custom part should not begin with capacitance and voltage alone. Resonant Capacitors work as part of an LC network, so their electrical stress, loss, temperature rise, mechanical integration, and validation plan are connected.
