Due to the design of the capacitor and its technology,
the thermal impedance between the terminations and the core of
the capacitor is low, it is necessary to take care that the capaci-
tor is never overheated by use of incorrect sized connections.
In the case where the series diodes are screwed to the capaci-
tor, cooling of the diodes must be taken in account.
Do not use the capacitor as a heat sink.
Due to the complexity of the diode/capacitor thermal exchanges,
we recommend that thermal measurements shall be made on
the different components. We would be pleased to advise you on
specific problems.

Spikes or peak currents in the capacitors may cause a deterioration of the
bonding between the metallization and the connections. These bonds are
capable of withstanding only a limited amount of energy for each spike. The
