What charge time, hold time, and rep rate are my Type S capacitors rated for?

The nominal conditions used to calculate the life of Type S capacitors are a charge time ≤ 30 seconds and a hold time ≤ 5 seconds. WE recommend that you do not exceed these values. The pulse repetition rate is determined by the capacitor’s maximum allowed rms current which is shown on our Series S, SS, & DE page or on individual specification sheets available from GAEP. To determine the rms current for a capacitor in your application, please use our rms current calculator.
