Type BLC series uses the most advanced
metallized lm technology for long life and high
reliability in DC Link applications. This series
combines high capacitance and very high ripple
current capability needed for today’s in verter
designs for medium power wind, solar, fuel cells,
UPS systems and more.
Highlights
- High capacitance
- High ripple current
- Self-healing

Expected Lifetime Predictions
Determine ESR at Operating Frequency
Use the 10 kHz ESR from the ratings tables.
For operation below 10 kHz, the ESR will need to be adjusted using the following
equation: ESR - 31.83/(10C) + 31.83/(fC).
Determine Thermal Resistance at Operating Frequency and Air Flow
Compute Θ = ΘCC + ΘCA. In the ratings tables, ΘCA is for still air. For v = 0 to 5 m/s,
multiply ΘCA by [(5 + 17.6(0.10.66)) / (5 + 17.6(v + 0.1)0.66)]
Determine Expected Lifetime
Look up Expected Lifetime on the graph using VA/VR and TC = TA + I2 (ESR/1000) Θ
The maximum allowed temperature rise is 40 °C and the maximum allowed core
temperature is 95 °C.
