About the CVAR-400

The CVAR-400 is a variable vacuum capacitor manufactured by Comet. Large-range variable vacuum capacitor with up to 400 pF tuning range for high-capacitance RF matching and plasma tuning applications.

Key ratings of the CVAR-400 include type Variable, capacitance range up to 400 pF, working voltage dc 10 kV and max current 100 A RMS.

Typical applications are high-capacitance RF matching, large plasma RF systems, industrial 13.56 MHz tuning and high-current RF tank circuits. Notable features: up to 400 pF large range, 100 A high-current capability, 10 kV working voltage and high-capacitance plasma use.

Variable vacuum capacitors allow the capacitance to be tuned under high RF voltage and are the key element of RF matching networks for semiconductor plasma processing, broadcast antenna tuning and industrial RF generators. Selection is based on capacitance range, test voltage, RF current and drive type.
