the capacitor has been designed, for continuous operation.
Ripple voltage
V
r
Peak-to-peak alternating component of the unidirectional voltage.
Maximum surge voltage
V
s
Peak voltage induced by a switching or any other disturbance of the system which is allowed for a
limited number of times and duration.
- Maximum duration: 50 ms / pulse
- Maximum number of occurrences: 1000 (during load)
Insulation voltage
