Why some Capacitor rating in milliampere
Why some Capacitor rating in milliampere
(OP)
I have a one inverter circuit in which capacitor are rated like this, 0.25 Microfarad,1000V & 50 Milliampere. They are connected in parallel with thyristors. I am not able to understand why capacitor ampere rating is given? What its significant? Can I use 0.25microfarad & 1000V capacitor without bothering its milliampere rating? Pl. advice me.

I have to disagree with "sty away from poyester" for pulse currents. You'll get the highest pulse ratings in polypropylene and polyester are a close second choice. Look at the AC ratings for AVX BN,FFB, FFV series or EPCOS MKT series. These have very high pulse ratings.
