    What is a high voltage capacitor?

    Answer

    To protect the ESD, it is necessary to use a circular disc-shaped ceramic high-voltage capacitor to shunt the discharge energy to the rack ground.These capacitors are rated for a minimum of l500V (1kV), and low-voltage capacitors are permanently damaged when ESD is first present.For electrical fast transients, a capacitor rated voltage of 50 to 100V is usually sufficient. These capacitors will not be broken down by transient voltages because they cannot respond to fast input changes, and the transients are very short and the voltage build-up is very slow.Therefore, the capacitor will not be broken down.
