Capacitance (Discharge System)
As shown in the diagram below, charging is performed for a duration of 30 minutes once the voltage of the capacitor
terminal reaches 5.5 V. Then, use a constant current load device and measure the time for the terminal voltage to drop
from 3.0 to 2.5 V upon discharge at 0.22 mA per 0.22 F, for example, and calculate the static capacitance according to the
equation shown below.
Note: The current value is 1 mA discharged per 1 F.

1.8 to 1.5 V upon discharge at 1.0 mA per 1.0 F, for example, and calculate the static capacitance according to the equation
shown below.
Capacitance (Discharge System – HV Series)
As shown in the diagram below, charging is performed for a duration of 30 minutes once the voltage of the capacitor
terminal reaches maximum operating voltage. Then, use a constant current load device and measure the time for the
terminal voltage to drop from 2.0 to 1.5 V upon discharge at 1.0 mA per 1.0 F, and calculate the static capacitance according

(1) Capacitance ( Charge System )
Capacitance is calculated from expression (9) by measuring the charge time constant (τ) of the capacitor (C). Prior to
measurement, short between both pins of the capacitor for 30 minutes or more to let it discharge. In addition, follow the indication
of the product when determining the polarity of the capacitor during charging.
