How Super Capacitor/Ultra Capacitor Compensates For Leakage Current Changes



Any Super capacitor/ultra capacitor will discharge through an internal shunt resistance in the case of electrification. This supercap leakage current is called leakage current, which affects the self-discharge of the low leakage supercapacitor/ultra capacitor unit. Similar to some secondary battery technologies, the voltage of Super capacitor/ultra capacitor also needs to be balanced when used in series, because the leakage current exists in the super capacitor, and the magnitude of the internal shunt resistance determines the voltage distribution on the series Super capacitor/ultra capacitor unit. When the voltage of ultracapacitor is stable, the voltage on each cell will change with the supercapacitor leakage current, not with the capacitance. The larger the leakage current, the smaller the rated voltage. On the contrary, the smaller the leakage current, the higher the rated voltage. This is because the leakage current will cause the discharge of Super capacitor/ultra capacitor cells and reduce the voltage, which will then affect the voltage of other cells connected in series. It is assumed that these cells in series are powered by the same constant voltage.



In order to compensate for leakage current supercapacitor changes, a common method is to connect a resistor in parallel beside each unit to control the leakage current of the whole unit. This method effectively reduces the change of the corresponding shunt resistance among the units.



Another recommended method is the active cell balance method, in which each cell is actively monitored and balanced when there is a voltage change. This method can reduce any additional load on the unit and greatly improve the work efficiency.

Supercapacitors for UPS

Image
The function of the super capacitor ups is often determined in the first few seconds to a few minutes after the power failure or the instantaneous collapse of the grid voltage. The battery needs to provide power during this period. The shortcomings of the battery itself need regular maintenance and short life, so that the UPS is running. It is necessary to always check the state of the battery. In a data protection backup system, the time required by the UPS is relatively short. The advantages of ultracapacitor ups are particularly pronounced, with output currents rising to hundreds of amps or even thousands of amps with almost no delay, and fast charging, energy storage in a short period of time, and 50,000 cycle life Do not need care for ten years, so that ups supercapacitor is truly maintenance-free. As one of supercapacitor manufacturers , we can offer kinds of super capacitor for sale, if you have needs, please contact us.
