Part of the PowerCache line of large-and small-cell capacitors, the PC2500 2,500 farad farad (făr`əd) [for Michael Faraday], unit of electrical capacitance, equivalent to 1 coulomb of stored charge per volt of applied potential difference.
A standard unit of measurement for capacitors (capacitance). capacitor capacitor or condenser, device for the storage of electric charge. Simple capacitors consist of two plates made of an electrically conducting material (e.g., a metal) and separated by a nonconducting material or dielectric (e.g. caches 7800 Joules of energy at a nominal 2.5 volts (2.7V peak), for high powered discharges ranging from fractions of a second to one minute, Rated current is 44A, and DC series resistance is 1 mhos. Packaged in a sealed aluminum can, the capacitor measures 161 x 62 x 61.5mm, and the easy-access wiring terminals have M6 screws. The operating temperature range of the ultracapacitor is -20[degrees] to 60[degrees]C,
Other applications for the PC 2500 have addressed power needs during outages. Charged from and used in conjunction with primary sources such as batteries, fuel cells or generators, the device can provide roughly 10 times the power density of batteries alone. In such an application, it can reduce safety risks that result from power interruptions to a medical facility during dips, sags and outages in the main power supply. Through the ability to relieve power-intensive systems of peak power functions, the ultracapacitor significantly extends a system's lifespan lifespan Longevity Epidemiology The genetically endowed limit to life for a person, if free of exogenous risk factors. See Average lifespan, Life expectancy. .
Additional areas that use the PC 2500 include industrial applications, UPS and fuel cell systems. Hybrid electric vehicles A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle which combines a conventional propulsion system with an on-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle without being hampered by range from a charging unit like an can also use the ultracapacitor to handle power requirements in burst-mode applications such as required during acceleration and braking.
