Capacitor in Electronics

A capacitor is an electrical component that stores energy in an electric field. It is a passive device that consists of two conductors separated by an insulating material known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the conductors, an electric field develops across the dielectric, causing positive and negative charges to accumulate on the conductors.

We may infer from Figure 2 that the DC link capacitor''s AC ripple current Icap arises from two main contributors: (1) the incoming current from the energy source and (2) the current drawn by the inverter. Capacitors cannot pass DC current; thus, DC current only flows from the source to the inverter, bypassing the capacitor.
