Hi,
For an electrolytic capacitor, is there an empirical relation between ripple current and the maximum yet safe current which can be drawn for dozens of miliseconds for a discharge application ? I mean without damaging the capacitor.
For example, if an electrolytic capacitor is rated for 30A ripple current at 120Hz/85°C, how much current can I continuously draw safely for 100ms ?
I suppose the limiting factors would be the heat generated and the connectors maximum current capability.
