It has to cover the portion of the R/T curve between room temperature and the resistance of the components as stabilized at the maximum continous current Imax (that is the minimum operating resistance). One cycle lasts 7 minutes. ** Maximum switchable capacity test The capacitor (CT) is discharged across a series fixed resistor and the thermistor, shown in Figure 2. The charge voltage is chosen so that the voltage applied to the thermistor at the beginning of discharge is 170/345 [V], corresponding to (110/230V+V)*1.41. The capacitor is discharged across a series fixed resistor and the thermistor 1 000 times at ambient temperature of between 15C and 35C. Each cycle has to start with thermistors cooled down to ambient temperature. VL CT V L ... Load voltage RS = 1 Ohm C ... Test capacitance T R S ... Fixed resistance VNTC ...
