Vacuum Capacitor

A vacuum capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses vacuum as the dielectric medium. The electrode group of this vacuum capacitor is formed by first-grade oxygen-free copper strips drawn step by step through a complete set of high-precision molds to create a set of concentric cylindrical electrodes. The electrodes are sealed inside a vacuum container. Therefore, its performance is stable and reliable, and it is not prone to arcing, corona discharge, and other phenomena.

Applications and Features of Vacuum Capacitor

 

The vacuum capacitor is used in long-wave, medium-wave, short-wave, and ultra-short-wave transmitters, as well as high-frequency high-voltage equipment, serving as components for tuning, coupling, filtering, neutralization, and DC isolation. It is also applied in high-energy particle accelerators and dielectric loss testing equipment. In recent years, the vacuum capacitor has been further expanded into medical devices and high-frequency induction heating furnaces. Compared with other dielectric capacitors (such as air dielectric capacitors, ceramic capacitors, oil-immersed capacitors, gas-filled capacitors, and film dielectric capacitors), the vacuum capacitor has the following unique characteristics:

 

  • High rated voltage - The high dielectric strength of vacuum, combined with no dust contamination and temperature influence, allows its withstand voltage to reach several hundred kilovolts.
  • Low loss and high rated current - Due to vacuum dielectric and low-loss insulating housing with oxygen-free copper electrode structure, even under natural convection cooling, it can carry large RF currents at high frequencies. With special water-cooling structures, RF current can reach hundreds or even thousands of amperes.
  • Light weight and small size - For a given capacitance, rated voltage, and low loss, the vacuum capacitor occupies the smallest space compared with other capacitors.
  • Wide capacitance range - The ratio between maximum and minimum capacitance can reach up to 150:1, ranging from a few picofarads to several thousand picofarads, making it an ideal component for wide tuning applications.
  • Self-healing capability against overvoltage - The vacuum capacitor can withstand instantaneous overvoltage, while other capacitors may suffer permanent damage.
  • High-altitude operation capability - Vacuum sealing enables the vacuum capacitor to operate in high-altitude environments without performance degradation.
