APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW

NCL’s range of filter, snubber and energy storage capacitors service the professional markets of traction, industrial drives, power conditioning and avionics amongst others, while capacitors from the discharge range are used in medical, plasma and pulsed power applications . All these high quality, technically advanced capacitors are in use worldwide in a multitude of diverse situations.

Typical customers include multinational companies from power transmission and generation, well known manufacturers of passenger and mass transit trains, research institutions such as CERN and familiar producers of all-electric and hybrid vehicles.

Typical application by capacitor type include;

DC Filter Capacitors

Propulsion and auxiliary inverters for railway traction, marine and avionic applications, static frequency converters, renewable energy systems for local & HVDC transmission

AC Filter Capacitors

AC traction inverter output filters, high power UPS input and output filters, multi-phase marine propulsion drives, specialised power factor correction.

Snubber Capacitors

Thyristor bridges for ac/dc conversion, active front end rectifiers, GTO and IGCT based inverters, high power IGBT applications.

Energy Storage Capacitors

Particle physics and plasma research, pulsed laser discharge, lithotriptors, industrial and aviation turbine ignition.

Track Circuit Capacitors

High reliability, single and switched multi-element assemblies for AC resonant railway signalling applications.

Custom Design Capacitors

Most capacitors are made to order so in each category many aspects of the design and manufacture can be easily modified to fit a precise application.
