We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Shizuki Electric
Group in Nishinomiya, Japan.
Purchased from TRW Corp in the 1987
Manufacturing capacitors and passive components since
1945 when we were known as Goodall Electric.
170,000 sq/ft facility in western Nebraska (USA)
ISO 9001:2008 certified (Latest cert on website
www.ascapacitor.com)
MARKET OBJECTIVES
In conjunction with Shizuki Electric Corp, our goal
is the be the worlds largest power electronics film
capacitor manufacturer.

OIL VERSUS DRY
Why Dry?
Pros:




No leaks
No swelling of dielectric due to oil permeation
Heat dissipation is as good with gel fill while highly filled urethanes and epoxies have
very even better thermal conductivity characteristics.
Longer life – typically rated 100K hours nominally.
Cons:

Not compatible with mechanical interrupt, rely on segmented film for protection.
Why Oil?
Pros:

Helps with corona onset reduction in AC applications



Reduces overall size of component.
(660-700VAC/section oil, 400VAC max/section dry)
Example of cracked
Metallization due to PP
swelling
Helps with cooling by offering good thermal conductivity.
Compatible with mechanical interrupt
Cons:




Oil can cause PP to swell and crack metallization resulting in shorter life
Potential leak
Potentially shorter life due to higher temperature applications (60k Hours)
Potential flammable fluid.
