For operation below 10 kHz, the ESR will need to be adjusted using the following equation: ESR - 31.83/(10C) + 31.83/(fC). Determine Thermal Resistance at Operating Frequency and Air Flow Compute Θ = ΘCC + ΘCA. In the ratings tables, ΘCA is for still air. For v = 0 to 5 m/s, multiply ΘCA by [(5 + 17.6(0.10.66)) / (5 + 17.6(v + 0.1)0.66)] Determine Expected Lifetime Look up Expected Lifetime on the graph using VA/VR and TC = TA + I2 (ESR/1000) Θ The maximum allowed temperature rise is 40 °C and the maximum allowed core temperature is 95 °C.
