FAE Expert Insights
"The C3P3K206K20AHA01 is essential for 1500V solar inverters and high-voltage industrial drives. The 2000V rating provides good margin for 1500V systems which can see 1700V+ during transients. I've specified this part for several large-scale solar projects. The key design consideration is safety - 2000V requires proper clearances, creepage distances, and safety interlocks. The M12 terminals are nickel-plated for corrosion resistance which is important for outdoor solar applications. One tip: always use appropriately rated connectors and cables - standard terminals are not suitable for 2000V. For thermal management at high altitude solar sites, derate the ripple current by 10-15%."
Excellent choice for industrial applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety precautions are required for 2000V capacitors?
2000V capacitors require proper safety clearances (minimum 25mm), safety interlocks, discharge circuits, and warning labels. Only qualified personnel should work on high-voltage equipment. For detailed specifications and application support on faratronic C3P3K206K20AHA01, refer to the datasheet or contact our team.
Follow all applicable electrical safety standards and regulations for high-voltage equipment design and operation.
Can this capacitor be used at altitudes above 2000m?
Standard capacitors are rated to 2000m altitude. For higher altitudes, voltage derating is required (typically 10% per 1000m above 2000m) due to reduced air insulation. For detailed specifications and application support on faratronic C3P3K206K20AHA01, refer to the datasheet or contact our team.
For high-altitude installations, contact our FAE team for altitude derating guidelines and recommendations.
What is the insulation resistance at 2000V?
Insulation resistance exceeds 10,000 MΩ at 20°C when measured at 1000V DC test voltage. At operating voltage, leakage current is minimal. For detailed specifications and application support on faratronic C3P3K206K20AHA01, refer to the datasheet or contact our team.
High insulation resistance ensures minimal power loss and reliable long-term operation.
Is partial discharge a concern with this capacitor?
Faratronic power capacitors are designed and tested for low partial discharge (<10pC) at rated voltage. This ensures long-term reliability in high-voltage applications. For detailed specifications and application support on faratronic C3P3K206K20AHA01, refer to the datasheet or contact our team.
For critical high-voltage applications, specify capacitors with partial discharge testing and certification.
What is the series inductance and how does it affect performance?
ESL is typically 20-25nH. At high switching frequencies (>20kHz), ESL can cause voltage spikes. Use multiple capacitors in parallel to reduce effective ESL. For detailed specifications and application support on faratronic C3P3K206K20AHA01, refer to the datasheet or contact our team.
For high-frequency applications, parallel multiple capacitors and minimize connection inductance with proper PCB layout.
