Type 947C High Capacitance, High Current, DC Link Capacitors
To use the Expected Lifetime curves calculate Va ⁄Vr and core 1. Start with the 10 kHz ESR from the Ratings table. If frequency is
temperature T. Start by estimating: less than 10 kHz, add 31.83 ⁄(fC).
Applied dc voltage Va
Ripple Current I 2. Compute total thermal resistance θ as the sum of core-to-case
Ripple Frequency f thermal resistance θcc and case-to-ambient thermal resistance
Ambient Temperature Ta θca. Both are in the Ratings table but θca is for still air and θcc
Airflow speed v is for 10 kHz or less. For frequency > 10 kHz multiply θcc by
Units: [1+(f –10)/100], e.g., for 75 kHz multiply θcc by 1.65. For moving
A=m² T, Ta & Tc=°C air use the capacitor surface area A and airflow speed v to calculate
C=µF θ, θca & θcc =°C/W θca = 1 ⁄[A(5+17(v+0.1)0.66)].
ESR=mW v=m/s
f=kHz Va &Vr=Vdc 3. Compute Va ⁄Vr and the core temperature T.
I=A T = Ta + I²(ESR)θ
NOTE: The temperature rise in the 947C is I²(ESR) times the
thermal resistance θ. The ESR is mainly the metal resistance; 4. Look up estimated lifetime from the Expected Lifetime curves.
the metal resistance is the 10 kHz ESR. For operation below 10
kHz add the dielectric resistance. It is the dielectric dissipation 5. If you want a longer expected lifetime, choose a capacitor with
factor—no more than 0.0002—times the capacitive reactance, higher voltage rating or consider using multiple capacitors in parallel
i.e., 0.0002 ⁄(2πfC). That’s equal to 31.83 ⁄(fC). to share the ripple current.
