How to Choose a Commutating Capacitor
1. From circuit analysis or measurement, determine
application values for these six parameters:
2. Choose a capacitor from the ratings table of the desired
nominal capacitance with a peak voltage rating no less than
your maximum peak voltage.
3. Check that your application’s rms current is no more
than the capacitor’s Max. Amps RMS. You can calculate

of the sine wave voltage and current that may be applied at
65 ºC without overheating the capacitor and reducing its
expected life. For other temperatures and pulsed current, use
the multipliers of Figures 2 and 3 to derate the Max VA rating.
The Max Amps RMS rating is set by the capability of the
capacitor terminals. Exceeding this limit can damage the
terminals and cause capacitor failure.
Calculate the capacitor’s actual VA load as the product of the
rms voltage across the capacitor and the rms current through
the capacitor. To calculate rms current for an applied sine
wave or squarewave voltage, use these equations.
For a sinewave voltage the current is:
and for a squarewave the current is:
where (f) is repetition frequency in Hz, C is nominal
capacitance in µF, ∆V the peak-to-peak squarewave amplitude
in volts, (t) is the pulse width in µs and T is the pulse period
in µs.

4. Check that your application’s volt-amperes is not more
than the capacitor’s VA capability. The VA capability is the
max VA rating times the Volt-Ampere multiplier from Figure
2 (Current Pulse Width) and that times the Volt-Ampere
Multiplier from Figure 3 (Ambient Temperature). See the
following section for more on using volt-ampere multipliers
.
If you need a greater VA capability, repeat these steps for a
higher peak voltage capacitor or consider connecting units in
parallel to divide the VA required. For up to peak voltage of
600 V, you may also consider polypropylene film dielectric
