CapCalC

This app is simple to calculate the life of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. I have to design engineers and electronics, students to study the electronic circuit, the app to turn on your computer, such as nerd, easy to implement simple.

■ How to use
Indeed, by operating the electrolytic capacitor life you wish, we measure the temperature of the surface (the upper surface of the metal part).
• Enter into this application of the measured surface temperature, temperature rating of electrolytic capacitors, the rated life.
■ How to operate
Rated life of an electrolytic capacitor, (h)
· Rated temperature (℃)
Surface temperature (℃)
Enter the Press "to display the next screen" results
The calculated lifetime is displayed.

※ The calculation has been using a formula that uses the property of the capacity is reduced in speed 10 ℃ 2 the Arrhenius equation, is due to the simplified calculation only, strictly considered acceleration factor ripple, ripple current you need to. It is not a guaranteed value is the value calculated by this app, do not trust the calculated value may also in any application.
※ Since the sealing rubber and lifetime degradation in 10-15 years even if the calculated value is more than 10 years, please think about 10 years.
※ ripple current of the capacitor are with rated ripple current.
