Description

INGCO S-RH-CAP-RH15008, Rotary Hammer Drill-Capacitor( S-RH-CAP-RH15008)

product details:

• High Capacitance: They can store a significant amount of electrical energy in a relatively compact size, perfect for the space constraints within a power tool.
• Electrolytic Construction: This design allows for a higher capacitance compared to other capacitor types like ceramic capacitors. It utilizes an aluminum foil anode (positive electrode) and a liquid or paste electrolyte (conductor) separated by a thin oxide layer (cathode – negative electrode).

Function in a Rotary Hammer Drill:

1. Powering the Motor: The drill receives AC power from the outlet (corded model) or the battery (cordless model). The internal circuitry converts this AC power to DC power, and the electrolytic capacitor steps in.
2. Energy Storage: The DC power charges the capacitor, essentially storing the electrical energy for a short duration.
3. Power Delivery: During hammering and drilling operations, the motor requires additional power to overcome the resistance of hard materials. This is where the capacitor shines. It releases the stored DC energy in a powerful burst, providing the motor with the extra oomph it needs to deliver strong impacts and rotation for effective drilling.
4. Recharging Cycle: This process is continuous. The capacitor constantly charges and discharges during operation, replenishing its energy reserves from the power source to maintain power delivery for continuous drilling.

Benefits of Electrolytic Capacitors in Rotary Hammer Drills:

• Power Boosts: Their ability to deliver short, powerful bursts of energy is crucial for powering the motor during demanding tasks like hammering concrete.
• Consistent Performance: By providing a reserve of energy, the capacitor helps the drill maintain consistent performance even under heavy loads, preventing dips in drilling power.
• Motor Protection: The capacitor reduces strain on the motor by providing additional power during drilling, potentially extending the motor’s lifespan.
