Power Losses and Hot Spot Temperature Calculation
At each frequency, the Power Losses are the sum of:
1. Dielectric Power Losses
P
D
(f
i
) = 2 * π * f
i
* C * V(f
i
)
2
* tgδ

which can be alternatively calculated as

is the ambient temperature (steady state temperature of the
cooling air owing around the capacitor, measured at 100 mm of distance
from the capacitor and at a height of 2/3 height of the capacitor).
