脈衝上升時間決定了電容器承受快速電壓變化引起的大電流峰值的能力。 峰值電流定義公式如下： lp(A)=C(uF) × dv/dt (V/μs)

The pulse rise time defines the capability of a capacitor to withstand high current peaks due to fast voltage changes. The peak current is defined by the following formula: lp(A)=C(uF) × dv/dt (V/μs)

11. 損耗角正切及等效串聯電阻 Dissipation factor and equivalent series resistance:

耗散因數或損耗角正切(tanδ)是指電容器在規定頻率的正弦電壓作用下，電容器損耗的功率除以電容器的無功功率。 等效串聯電阻(ESR)是由電容串聯電阻和電感組成的等效電路。

The dissipation factor or tangent of loss angle (tanδ) is the power loss of the capacitor divided by the reactive power of the capacitor at a sinusoidal voltage of specified frequency. The equivalent series resistance(ESR) is the resistive part of the equivalent circuit composed of capacitance, series resistance and inductance.
