1

Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.

2

DWV is the voltage a capacitor can withstand (survive) for a short period of time. It exceeds the nominal and continuous working voltage of the capacitor.

3

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:

1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF

120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF

4

To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.

Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 & Agilent E4980 have a feature known as

Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON".
