A97F8680S

A97F8680S is an A97F8600 series SCR commutation capacitor. It is designed for high-current applications, such as (1) SCR commutation, (2) snubbers for SCRs, GTOs and other power semiconductors, and for any other circuits where the combination of frequency and voltage results in high RMS currents. It is strongly recommended that users refer to GE engineers for assistance if there are any questions as to the correct selection of capacitors. It has an all-film dielectric and, due to the much lower dissipation factor, can handle much higher currents than the older film paper designs. Advances in capacitor dielectric technology have made paint unnecessary, in most cases. This along with GE’s commitment to environmental programs has led to the elimination of painted cases in this product line. Removal of the paint has minimal effect on the RMS current ratings.
