Type 944U Polypropylene, DC Link Capacitors
High Current, Low Profile for Inverter Applications
Type 944U is specifically designed for use in high power DC
filtering applications. The low inductance internal construction
utilizes low loss metallized polypropylene for high ripple current
capability. Male or female terminal options offer design flexibility
in a rugged UL 94VO rated flame retardant plastic case and resin
fill. High current ratings and robust mounting flanges make the
944U suited for inverter applications in electric vehicle power
inverters, wind power inverters and motor drives.

Type 944U Polypropylene, DC Link Capacitors
High Current, Low Profile for Inverter Applications
Expected Lifetime Predictions
To use the Expected Lifetime curves calculate Va ⁄Vr and core
temperature T. Start by estimating:
Applied dc voltage Va
Ripple Current I
Ripple Frequency f
Ambient Temperature Ta
Airflow speed v
Units:
A=m²
T, Ta & Tc=°C
C=μF
θ, θca & θcc =°C/W
ESR=mΩ
v=m/s
f=kHz
Va &Vr=Vdc
I=A
NOTE: The temperature rise in the 944U is I²(ESR) times the
thermal resistance θ. The ESR is mainly the metal resistance;
the metal resistance is the 10 kHz ESR. The dielectric resistance
needs to be considered for operation below 10kHz.
1. Start with the 10kHz ESR from the ratings table. If frequency is less
than 10kHz, use the following equation: ESR - 31.83/(10C) + 31.83/(fC).
2. Compute total thermal resistance θ as the sum of core-to-case
thermal resistance θcc and case-to-ambient thermal resistance
θca. Both are in the ratings table but θca is for still air. For moving
air use the capacitor surface area A and airflow speed v to calculate
θca = 1 ⁄[A(5+17.5(v+0.1)
0.66
)].
3. Compute Va ⁄Vr and the core temperature T.
T = Ta + I²(ESR)θ
4. Look up estimated lifetime from the Expected Lifetime curves.
5. If you want a longer expected lifetime, choose a capacitor with
higher voltage rating or consider using multiple capacitors in parallel to
share the ripple current.
Film
The expected lifetime predictions assume no exposure to overvoltage transients.
Expected lifetime can be calculated for varying exposure to overvoltage transients.
As an illustration at 50 °C the expected lifetime is 100,000 h with the 24-hour Va ∕ Vr
profile below:
