Hi Mads, love your coils and web page! Well i guess that what some say is true, "size doesn't matter"... Oh well, i guess high-frequency devices require the use of high-frequency specific components XD Thanks for your input guys

Hi profc9, I assume that in the first two reasons (Voltage and Capacitance) you are referring to the caps used as a "tank caps", in an MMC? I didn't mentioned that use in my first post because i could see how the things you wrote are true. I was thinking of snubbers or DC blockers use only. I never thought of how the radial vs axial design of the cap would affect the current flow through the cap, i guess this is one of the things that matter when you are pulsing current at KHz frequencies, now i know! Again not talking about MMCs. The peak current and behavior at high frequencies (ESR/ESL etc) was my main concern like i wrote in the first post, but i thought that there was a good chance they were good with current (at least at 50Hz?) since they seem to be 3-4 times the physical size of "not best-for-this-use but it will work" X2 and similar non-snubber specific MKP caps. Clearly the caps that are actually made for use as Snubbers (and other "pulse-rated" variants) will out-perform all other (cheaper) alternatives, like X2 or other MKP caps. My reasoning for the current capabilities was my (very limited) experience with DC Electrolytic caps, where two caps can have the same eg 10.000μF/63V rating, but one is a snap-in cap and the other a big-can with screw terminals and 3-4 times the size of the first one. In my, again limited experience, the physically bigger cap will be able to perform better as a smoothing cap in a power supply when it comes to current: the physical smaller cap will get worm and/or not be able to supply the current the big cap has no problem providing. But DC (100Hz) behavior is not the same as KHz behavior, so i was guessing wrong... May i make another guess and say that you prefer 2KV rated caps for use as snubbers, because they would last longer in what i assume is a assumed 325V DC bus? I don't have much experience with resonant circuits and things like that, besides knowing that you will fry stuff if you don't use a freewheeling Diode in a DC Relay and that the collapsing current through a eg 12V DC Relay coil like that, can create a high enough voltage to shock you. But seeing many (?) small/ cheapreasonably-priced coils use X2 or 400-600V caps in parallel to the DC bus, i though that the (very fast) freewheeling diodes* on the MOSFETs/IGBTs where making a good enough job so that a <1KV rated cap was all you needed. *i mean the extra protection diodes like a MUR1560, not the diodes inside the devicesAnyways, you live and you learn and i am happy about that!

Hello to all, this is my first but hopefully not last post in this Forum, so nice to meet you The question i would like to ask is simple: How come (in my limited experience) i have never seen a XμF/400V "motor run" capacitor in use on a SSTC/DRSSTC? I was looking at an old 1KW Inverter board and i noticed than it used two of those MKP caps, in the classic plastic white can form, right in the middle of 12xIRFP350 MOSFET (output) devices, for snubbing perhaps? Here is a photo where you can barely see the two white caps, behind that 10.000μF Daewoo cap: https://imgur.com/a/mulGCl7This however might be a bad example, since the way those MOSFETs are just screwed to the heatsink using a metal-threaded screw right on the aluminium does not show great craftsmanship... :/ As far as i can see these caps could be good for Snubbers or DC blocking in SSTC's, since they are Polypropylene MKP caps rated at 400+ volts (50Hz though) and they are made in values as low as 1μF or even lower ( https://images-maplin.wearepentagon.com/3/1577_N38KG.jpg)... Based on their size compared to the usual MKP caps used, i would say they would do better at least thermally, right? I don't know how well they would do in high frequencies or with high-current pulses, they just seem so "beefy" to me, compared to the usual "X2" and other MKP types usually used (and at the same or lower price too). For example, Mads Barnkob's SSTC II uses 2x0.68μF/400Vac MKP X2 caps (=1x1.36μF/400Vav) for DC blocking, while in his DRSSTC III he uses two 2μF/1KV for snubbers. Could one use a 1-2μF/440Vac Motor Run Capacitor as substitute in the first case and perhaps two (or more) 4μF/440Vac is series for the second? I 'm not asking because i have something particular in mind, just curious since i saw those white MKP's on that inverter. Thank you for your time!
