When switched on or off, including during pulse-width modulation (PWM) operation, the motor current can change significantly. These current changes can create issues such as supply voltage variations and electromagnetic interference for nearby electronics. It is common to include large bulk capacitors as part of the motor driver design.

In this example, the scale is 1A per major division of the current trace, so the variation in motor current is on the order of 200mA due to the PWM switching. This is approximately 10% of the peak motor current of about 2 amps. Background and Theory 4 Bulk Capacitor Sizing for DC Motor Drive Applications SLVAFT0 – JULY 2024
So a capacitor allows no current to flow "through" it for DC voltage (i.e. it blocks DC). The voltage across the plates of a capacitor must also change in a continuous manner, so capacitors have the effect of "holding up"
analysis is the basis for calculating the DC-link capacitor current spectrum.

DC Leakage Resistance: An ideal capacitor would not leak any direct current across the insulated plates, but internal leakage is a real-world characteristic of any capacitor. Consequently, a small proportion of the capacitor''s charge slowly leaks away. Leakage also causes a small current flow through the capacitor when charging. A capacitor''s datasheet will
The phenomenon where the effective capacitance value of a capacitor changes according to the direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) voltage is called the voltage characteristics. Capacitors are said to have good voltage
The current which appears to flow through a capacitor is called DISPLACEMENT CURRENT. When a capacitor is fully charged and the source voltage is equaled by the
As this constitutes an open circuit, DC current will not flow through a capacitor. If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.1, negative charge will build up on the bottom plate while positive charge builds up on the top plate. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor is equal to that of the voltage source. In the process, a
When a DC voltage is applied across an uncharged capacitor, the capacitor is quickly (not instantaneously) charged to the applied voltage. The charging current is given by, $$i=frac {dQ} {dt}=frac {d (CV)} {dt}=Cfrac {dV} {dt}:::: (2)$$

So we model the system assuming all ripple current component ( ̃id) goes into the capacitor, and the old dc component < id > goes into the resistor. For this to be true, 2πfsw >> 1 RC Under this assumption, a "ripple only" model is: So to limit ripple to be low a specifed value C ≥ ∆vc,pp Similar calculations can be made for current ripple in iL.
DC link capacitors are regarded as one of the weakest parts in back-to-back power converters, [10], [11]. The DC link capacitor ripple current causes thermal stress, leading to a high percentage of the overall capacitor losses, [12]. Hence, it is clear that the DC link capacitor impacts the performance of the DFIG, not only during its steady
Capacitors, like batteries, have internal resistance, so their output voltage is not an emf unless current is zero. This is difficult to measure in practice so we refer to a capacitor''s voltage rather than its emf. But the source of potential difference
