Pulse handling capability
"dV/dt" represents the maximum permissible voltage change per unit of time for non-sinusoidal
voltages, expressed in V/µs.
"k0" represents the maximum permissible pulse characteristic of the waveform applied to the
capacitor, expressed in V2/µs.
Note:
The values of dV/dt and k0provided below must not be exceeded in order to avoid damaging the
capacitor.

Operation at overvoltages during heating and ignition of lamps (TA40 °C)
In lighting applications, the capacitors can be subjected to overvoltages during the heating and ig-
nition periods. An overvoltage occurs when the operation voltage exceeds the permissible AC
voltage at the resonant frequency fr.
For a repetitive application of on/off switching pulses (as for example in the life tests applied by
electronic ballast manufacturers), limits have to be imposed on the time periods under over-
voltage and on the duty cycle, in order to keep the capacitance value within the required margins:
The overvoltage time tOV should be less than 1 sec.
The maximum duty cycle of the overvoltage is given by
where Vrms,ov is the RMS voltage during period tOV.
and Vrms is the permissible AC voltage for continuous operation at the resonant frequency fr
(given by the “permissible AC voltage versus frequency f” graphics in theprevious pages).
The drift of capacitance depends on the Vppattained, and the total time under overvoltage,
which is calculated in hours as follows:
(NitOV) / 3600
where Niis the number of overvoltage impulses and tOV is expressed in seconds.
The maximum drift of capacitance as a function of both parameters is provided graphically in the
following pages.
