Hello Everyone,
As the title says i would like to know any critical pitfalls and disadvantages of series capacitors,on high power converters.
For example in a buck,if i require an input decoupling capacitor rated for at least 200v or an output LC filter capacitor:
Would it be better to get a big bulk caps,which are rated for 500v and above - usually these are expensive.
Or
Connect lower rated capacitors in series to meet the required voltage,I am concerned about the ESR and other losses in this case.?
All capacitors are electrolitic.
Thanks in advance,
AK
