Inverter circuits that convert direct current to alternating current are used to drive motors and generators. Such circuits incorporate Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) and other semiconductor switches. Recently, Silicon Carbide (SiC) and other high-speed devices are also coming into use, operating at higher frequencies while featuring smaller dimensions.

Capacitors are fundamental components in both analog and digital electronic circuits. These passive components play an important role in influencing the operational behavior of circuits. The characteristics of a capacitor vary mainly depending on the dielectric material used. The dielectric material determines the capacitance value, energy efficiency, and size of a capacitor. Fixed value capacitors can be broadly categorized into two: polar and non-polar capacitors. Non-polar capacitors include ceramic, film, and paper capacitors. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors and tantalum capacitors are polar components.

Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors For example, consider two of the main purposes of capacitors in electric vehicles: to prevent ripple currents from reaching back to the power source, and to smooth out DC bus voltage variations. Capacitors are also vital in protecting semiconductors – originally thyristors, but now usually IGBTs.
