Y cap issue Agenda ●Brief introduction of Y cap. ●Y cap issue Why we need a Y cap? ●Capacitor suitable for use in situations where failure of the capacitor could lead to danger of electric shock.----EN60384-14:2005 ●Y capacitor is for line to ground use. ●Y capacitor is mainly used to reduce conducted emission of products. Classification of Y cap Standard: EN60384-14, 2005 Sub- Type of insulation Range of Peak impulse Voltage proof class bridged rated voltage before Test A voltage endurance test Y1 Double insulation or ≤500V 8.0kV 4000Vac reinforced insulation Y2 Basic insulation or ≤ 300V 5.0kV 1500Vac supplementary ≥150V insulation Y3 Basic insulation or ≤ 250V None 1500Vac supplementary ≥150V insulation Y4 Basic insulation or ≤ 150V 2.5kV 900Vac supplementary insulation Y capacitor issue ● Y capacitor: ● Manufacturer: Murata. ● MPN: GA355DR7GC472KY02L. ● Dielectric test conditions ● Test voltage: 1500VAC RMS, 50Hz. Voltage 1500V applied on sample at the very beginning of the test. ● Test duration: 1second ● Over-current trip: 10mA Construction of capacitor ●The picture is for explanation only. Dielectric strength ●from Novacap brochure Dielectric voids ●Here are some examples of (large) porosities (or voids) inside the dielectric, betwwen 2 opposite electrodes. ●The defect criteria, (from EIA-469 standard) is: any void... between opposed elecrodes which reduces the dielectric thickness by more than 50% of the average dielectric thickness.
