How to break the prejudice of some end customers against Chinese-made high voltage ceramic capacitors?

 

As the saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Over the years, the reputation of high voltage ceramic capacitors produced by some Chinese manufacturers has been undermined. The main issue lies in the rated voltage. Some companies, in order to showcase their production capacity, have exaggerated the maximum withstand voltage and printed it on the capacitors.

 

For example, some manufacturers provide high voltage ceramic capacitors to customers with a nominal value of 20KV 1000PF, which should be used under a rated voltage of 10kV to ensure the normal operation of circuits and systems. If the voltage exceeds 15kV, the capacitors indeed have limitations and are prone to failure if subjected to voltages greater than 20kV. Therefore, some companies, arrogantly disregarding the interests of customers, label the capacitors as 20KV.

 

Due to the actions of these companies, many Chinese end customers have developed a mindset that domestically produced high voltage ceramic capacitors are of inferior quality. A few such cases have caused customers to lose confidence. As a result, they prefer to purchase capacitors from foreign brands. Customers impatiently say, "Sorry, we refuse to use Chinese-made brands and refuse to conduct sample testing." This indicates that end customers have been deeply influenced by this negative news.

 

How can this situation be broken? After all, HVC capacitors have been recognized by well-known Fortune 500 customers such as General Electric, Siemens, ABB, and more. They have been successfully applied in numerous CT and X-ray machines in Europe, the United States, and Japan.

 

In the global CT/X-ray machine market, the top brands are General Electric/Siemens/Philips. HVC capacitors have varying degrees of cooperation with the global subsidiaries of these three companies, including bulk production, sample testing, and small-scale trial production. China's medical, security inspection, and industrial X-ray machine markets are booming, and many companies are reverse engineering based on the products of these major international companies. Therefore, the components used are the same. Since HVC capacitors have been recognized by international companies, they can naturally be recognized by Chinese medical X-ray machines. For Chinese companies striving to catch up with the international high-end medical equipment level, having a high-quality, stable, experienced, and verified component supplier is crucial and can save a lot of R&D time. With the support of these important component manufacturers, it is even possible to develop equipment that surpasses the existing international standards.
