The Castle Creations 8S CapPack 2240UF Capacitor Pack is useful in  all high voltage brushless motor applications. Ripple voltage is hard on  an ESC, and one of the leading causes of ESC failure. This cap pack  helps by providing that little boost needed to overcome ripples in the  battery voltage caused by hard acceleration or long battery wires,  helping to reduce the load on the controller's on-board capacitors. This  CapPack uses four 560µF, 35V capacitors totaling 2240µF, which  increases its ripple reducing capabilities. It can be used with LiPo  batteries up to 8 cells. If your batteries are greater than 8s (35V)  then you will need the 880µF, 50V CapPack. Multiple CapPacks of the same  type and voltage may be used in an application, and should be installed  to the battery wires as close to the ESC as possible.   

All Castle controllers with data logging capabilities can report  the ripple voltage they encounter during use. Ripple voltage peaks  should always be less than 10% of the total pack voltage; the smaller  the ripple voltage the better. If an application exhibits more than 10%  ripple voltage under peak loads, the user should consider using higher  discharge (C Rating) batteries, shorter wires, higher current  connectors, better gearing or a smaller load.    

NOTE: See Cap Pack installation guide in the resources tab above.   

Applications:
 


  • Surface Vehicles: With  their high torque requirements – going from 0 to 100% throttle isn't  easy on controllers or batteries - RC cars and trucks put enormous loads  on brushless power systems. Use CC CapPacks in high performance  applications (IE drag racing and high speed runs) to help your system  power through the abuse. 
  • Helis: CC CapPack is  highly recommended for all 500 class and smaller heli applications  where Y harnesses and long wires can bleed voltage, and hard collective  pulls can strain even the most powerful batteries.
  • Fixed Wing Aircraft: Larger  electric power systems lead to larger electric powered aircraft, and  sometimes the distance between the battery pack and the ESC grows beyond  the length of the wires installed on the components. Adding wire also  adds inductance, which can increase the ripple voltage in a system. CC  CapPack essentially negates the ripple caused by the addition of up to  12 inches of length to the battery wires.
