NanoPlex™ In Action: Firing Up Fusion System Applications
NanoPlex™ HDC delivers high current handling and improved shot life, necessary for high-repetition rate and intense pulses.
Peak’s NanoPlex capacitor films perform without drift or derating, providing fusion teams with increased pulse rates, reduced thermal stress, and accelerated energy.
- 4x energy density vs. traditional capacitor films
- Shrink pulse banks by up to 50%
- Continuous high repetition rate operation with fewer replacements
- Extended life reduces replacement and downtime
NanoPlex™ LDF: Low-loss, high-temperature capacitor film for magnetic fusion systems
Magnetic fusion systems depend on capacitors that run hot, carry continuous ripple current, or charge and discharge every pulse. NanoPlex LDF is built for exactly those conditions.
-
Low loss: dissipation factor of 0.02% at 25°C and 0.035% at 135°C (1 kHz, ASTM D150), reducing self-heating in energy-recovery and high-ripple circuits
-
Rated to 135°C: full rated performance over 35°C above standard BOPP, with breakdown strength of 655 V/µm at 135°C (ASTM D149)
-
Longer predicted life: a predicted 4–6x longer lifetime than BOPP, based on temperature ratings
-
Drop-in manufacturing: metallizable and windable on standard BOPP processing tools
-
Secure supply: 100% U.S.-engineered and manufactured
Applications include pulsed magnetic compression systems with energy recovery, and the magnet power supplies, heating systems, and protection circuits of tokamaks and stellarators.
