Technology
Technology Overview
SBE offers several technologies to solve power electronic problems.
Technical Papers
Papers on low Trise, low ESR/ESL, extreme pulse current survival and significant capacitance density.
Power Ring Technology
This proven technology provides extremely low internal losses (ESR) as well as the purest form of inter- connect symmetry which can dramatically lower inductance (ESL). These unique properties drive the leading edge electrical characteristics for the highest level of performance and reliability.
105°C Coolant DC Link Capacitor
SBE developed a leading edge Film Capacitor technology for EV powertrain inverters and gathered over 3.5 Million unit hours of life testing data on these capacitors, which can operate in a 105°C coolant environment. With that knowledge, SBE developed an array of design tools, which can accurately characterize the performance of the Power Ring and other capacitors.
Patented Pulse Technology
A revolutionary way of controlling the typical failure mechanism of pulse capacitors.
Testing Capabilities
SBE has developed a number of testing methods to support its customers’ needs.
