Thermal Stress Determination – HotSpot Calculation
θHS = θC + RTH x (PD + PJ)
θC = Temperature of the Case
PD = Dielectric Losses; practically negligible for MKP Capacitors
PJ = Resistive Losses = Rs x IRMS2

Lifetime Calculation for Variable Operating States
For Variable Operating States, the Lifetime can be compounded according to IEC61709 (Electric Components – Reliability – Reference conditions for failurerates and stress models for conversion)

New Generation Converters’ demand to DC-Link Caps
•Higher Power Density = Higher Capacitor RMS Currents
•Higher Ambient/Case Temperatures in Operation
θHS = θC + RTH x (PD + PJ)
•Longer Lifetime / Lower FIT Rates

Advantages of Ducati PPMDH Film
For the same 100.000hrs Lifetime @ 300FIT
•+30°C θHS – respective to other manufacturers’ film
•+20°C θHS – respective to Ducati PPMD film
θHS = θC + RTH x (PD + PJ)
Higher RMS CurrentHigher Case/Amb. Temp.Longer Life / Lower FIT
No Reduction of typical PP Film Advantages
•Low Losses High Capacities / Powers
•Excellent Self-Healing Safety / Reliability
•Excellent Cost
