Current Ratings and Dissipated Power in DC and AC Applications

Current_Ratings_and_Dissipated_Power_in_DC_and_AC_Applications Capacitor specifications vary between manufacturers and it can be difficult for a design engineering selecting a capacitor to interpret the information presented in literature for use in the actual application. This application note discusses how to manipulate published capacitor ratings to the actual system requirements and determine if the capacitor will function reliably for that application
