GREEN YOUR APPLICATION WITH MCI HIGH Q CAPACITORS!

 You can reduce power consumption of all your equipment that uses capacitors in AC applications simply by choosing MCI High Q capacitors. Mathematically, Power used by capacitors in AC applications is directly proportional to the capacitors’ dissipation factor; the higher the DF the higher the power consumption. Hence, by changing from a conventional NP0 cap with a DF of .001 (Q = 1000) to an MCI High Q NP0 with a DF of .0001 (Q = 10,000) you will reduce the power dissipated through that device by a factor of 10, yielding a power saving of 90 %. Similarly, if you switch from a typical X7R or BX cap with DF of .01 (Q = 100) you will reduce power by a factor of 100 amounting to a saving of 99 %! Furthermore, the power reduction means a reduction in heat generated which will make your equipment run cooler, prolonging life of all components in it and lowering the load on or possibly eliminating the need for cooling fans and/or heat sinks which can reduce the weight of the equipment. This is particularly important in aircraft, aerospace and hand held applications. Another important advantage of MCI Hi Q capacitors in many applications is their consistently lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) than others of the same value at the same operating conditions. Typical values are shown in the following table.
