voltage rating on capacitor
voltage rating on capacitor
(OP)
I have a 4uf capacitor, working AC voltage 480v at 400 Hz and 600 VDC.
I'd like to know the working AC and DC voltage at 60 Hz
I'd like to know the working AC and DC voltage at 60 Hz





RE: voltage rating on capacitor
Don't understand what you mean by DC voltage at 60 Hz.

RE: voltage rating on capacitor
It depends, if the voltage rating is dependent on the maximum voltage that may be applied to the capacitor DC offset may be a problem.
If the maximum voltage is limited by capacitor heating, (I am thinking of motor starting capacitors that will overheat if energized continuously at the rated voltage) then the capacitor may be able to withstand some DC offset.
Or, "AC and DC voltage at 60 Hz" may be just misstated. grin
