Abstract :
Over the last eight years, significant improvements have been made in the field of polypropylene capacitors. Thinner films and more sophisticated metallization techniques have allowed the range of operating voltages to be lowered to some hundreds of volts. The upper voltage area of the electrolytic capacitors is now covered by the polymer film capacitors. This overlapping is examined through a comparison of the main electrical criteria.
