Life Time Estimation
3. KV Voltage Factor: For Radial Electrolytic Capacitors, this part of the formula has no impact (KV = 1). But for
some bigger capacitors like Snap-In and Screw-Terminal types with rated voltages above 350V, the operating
voltage will affect their Lifetime. It is expressed as follows:
( ) KV =
UA -n
UR
Where:
UR Rated Voltage
UA Actual Operating Voltage
n Exponent, defined as:
0,5 ≤ UA ≤ 1 → n = 2,5
UR
0 < UA
UR
< 0,5 → n = 0
4. Frequency Correction Factors: If the actual Ripple Currents are not given at the same frequency like I0,
weighing factors need to be applied.
