In capacitors for applications at temperatures of 150°C or above, such as automotive under-the-hood electronics and power electronics, a robust dielectric material is necessary. In traditional X8R ceramic capacitors (EIA specification, ΔC/C within ±15% between −55°C and +150°C compared that at 25°C), the dielectric material is designed for applications up to 150°C. However, at temperatures above 150°C, the X8R capacitors typically suffer from degradation of reliability performance and severe reduction in capacitance, especially under DC bias conditions. Recently, a Class-I C0G dielectric has been developed using Nickel electrodes for high temperature application up to 200°C. Due to its linear dielectric nature, this material exhibits highly stable capacitance as a function of temperature and voltage. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) made from this material can be qualified as X9G with robust reliability. This paper will report electrical properties and reliability test data on these Class-I C0G ceramic capacitors at temperatures ≥150°C. In addition, test data from D-E curves and energy density measurements will be reported along with a discussion of possible mechanisms behind the robust reliability of this material.

There is a growing need for ceramic capacitors for applications at temperatures of 150°C or above, such as electronics for down-hole drilling and exploration, geothermal energy generation and power electronics. Conventional X7R and X8R type ceramic capacitors are designed for applications up to 125°C and 150°C, respectively. At temperatures above 150°C, these types of capacitors typically suffer from degradation of reliability performance and severe reduction in capacitance, especially under DC bias conditions. Recently, a Class-I C0G dielectric has been developed using nickel electrodes for high temperature application up to 200°C and beyond. Due to its linear dielectric nature, this material exhibits highly stable capacitance as a function of temperature and voltage. Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) made from this material can be qualified as X9G with robust reliability. We have also developed a modified-X7R dielectric composition with nickel internal electrodes to design robust reliability in this Class-II dielectric at 175°C. This paper will report electrical properties and reliability test data on these Class-I C0G and Class-II ceramic capacitors at high temperatures of 150–200°C and above.

The initial dielectric aging behaviors of a Mg and Mn doped lead magnesium niobate ceramic were investigated over a wide range of direct current (dc) bias. Both the dielectric constant-log(time) and the loss tangent-log(time) were regressed in terms of a linear relationship. The dc bias is found to have a strong influence on the dielectric parameters at the start of aging and to suppress the aging of dielectric constant and loss tangent. The frequency dependence of the dielectric aging is also evidently affected by the dc bias.

The converter transformer plays a critical role in the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, which connects but separates the AC grids and the converter. This paper briefly introduced the essential design requirement of the HVDC converter transformer in a system at ±800kV level and analyzed the DC bias influence on the transformer. The DC bias current effect simulations are analyzed in MATLAB and ANSYS Maxwell in this paper, respectively.
