A high degree of precision and control of process parameters is necessary to keep the scattering of electrical properties for today's very thin ceramic layers within specified limits. The voltage proof of ceramic capacitors is specified as rated voltage (UR).
A ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric. It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes. The composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications.
The capacitance of a ceramic capacitor also changes according to the applied voltage. With a DC voltage, this property is referred as the DC bias characteristics.
Because multilayer ceramic chip capacitors have a high insulation resistance, leak current does not present a problem in normal applications. However, when the rated voltage is exceeded and the applied voltage is increased further, the capacitor will be subject to insulation breakdown at some point.
The insulation resistance is a value that is obtained by dividing the current flowing in the capacitor by the applied voltage. Because multilayer ceramic chip capacitors have a high insulation resistance, leak current does not present a problem in normal applications.
The voltage proof of ceramic capacitors is specified as rated voltage (UR). This is the maximum DC voltage that may be continuously applied to the capacitor up to the upper temperature limit. This guaranteed voltage proof is tested according to the voltages shown in the adjacent table.
The phase difference between the voltage applied to the capacitor and the current ideally is 90 degrees, but the abovementioned loss causes a delay beyond 90 degrees. The angle δ (loss …
