Kemet has made available a balancing kit for its S301 supercapacitor range, targeted at product validation, prototyping, low-volume production and custom configurations in a variety of relevant markets.
S301 parts feature high-power performance up to 3000 F capacity in a weldable, axial screw termination cell. Typical applications include automotive subsystems, engine starting, rail systems, hybrid drive trains, material handling/utility vehicles, regenerative brake energy capture, backup power, grid/power correction and UPS/carry-through power.
The kit includes a two-stage active balancing circuit to ensure that voltage across each supercapacitor cell is approximately equal. It features high frequency capacitance retention, energy delivery capabilities and reliability, as well as over-voltage protection and RoHS compliance. Each kit contains enough balancing cards, bus bars, screws, washers and wire to assemble six 60 mm diameter cells.
