APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

These capacitors are not suitable for mains application as across-the-line capacitors without additional protection.

To select the capacitor for a certain application, the following conditions must be checked :

3. The voltage pulse slope (dV/dt) shall not exceed the rated voltage pulse slope in an RC-circuit at rated voltage and

without ringing. If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated DC voltage, the rated voltage pulse slope may be multiplied

For all other pulses following equation must be fulfilled :
