Terminologies

  • 1. Rated capacitance CN

    Designed capacitance of the capacitor at 20℃/100HZ.
  • 2. Rated voltage UN

    Rated AC voltage UNAC:repetedly used in the design capacitor 
    waveform either polarity,the maximum operating peak cyde voltage.
    Rated DC voltage of the UNDC:polarity in any of the non-repetitivewaveform used in the design capacitor continuous operation of 
    the maximum operating peak voltage.
  • 3. Rms voltage Urms

    Root mean square of max.permissibe value of sinusoidal a.c. 
    Voltage in continuous operation.
  • 4. Ripple voltage Ur

    Peak-to-peak alternating component of the unidirectional voltage.In 
    general,the square of the ripple voltage rms should be less than 10%
    of the rated voltage.
  • 5. Non-recurrent surge voltage Us

    Peak voltage induced by aswitching or any other disturbance of the 
    system which is allowed for a limited number of times and for 
    durations shorter than the basic period.
  • 6. Voltage test between terminals Ut-t

    Routine test of all capacitors conducted at room temperature,prior to 
    delivery.A further test with 80% of the test voltage stated in the data 
    sheet may be carried out once at the user’s location.
  • 7. Voltage test between terminals and case Ut-c

    Routine test of all capacitors between short-circuited terminals and 
    case,conducted at room temperature.May be repeated at the user’s 
    location.
  • 8. Insulation voltage Ui

    When designing capacitor capacitor terminals on the shell or root 
    value of ac voltage of the party. If not stated,thet insulation voltage is 
    equal to the rated voltage (DC)divided by the square root of√2; 
    Or equal to rated voltage(AC)
  • 9. Maximum current Imax

    It indicates the failure probability of components in unit time and the value is the number of failure components in unit time compared to the 
    total number of components.The unit of λ is FIT (also expressed as Fit or fit)and 1FIT=1/(109 hrs).For example,10000pcs of components work at 
    given conditions for 10000 hrs and 10 pcs of components failed,so λ=10/(10000×10000)=100FIT.
  • 10. Maximum peak curren Î

    Maximum permitted repetitive peak current that can occur during 
    continuous operation.The value is following:Î=CN×(dv/dt) 
    Where dv/dt indicates rate of voltage rise,which means 
    maximum permitted repetitive rate of voltage rise of 
    operational voltage usually using instead of Î.
