2. Heat-generation characteristics of capacitors In order to measure the heat-generation characteristics of a capacitor, the capacitor temperature must be measured in the condition with heat dissipation from the surface due to convection and radiation and heat dissipation due to heat transfer via the jig minimized.
You can calculate heat generated within the capacitor from any one of three formulas: P=2πFCV 2 tanδ (1) P=I rms tanδ/2πFC (2) P=I rms2 ESR (3) Where: P=Power dissipated in watts F=Frequency of waveform C=Capacitance in farads V=rms voltage of waveform tan δ=Dissipation Factor of the capacitor at frequency F I=rms Current
Remember that the temperature in the capacitor core causes losses. Normally, the core temperature is the ambient, plus the skin rise, plus the rise from the skin to the core. The electrode system is another source of heat within the capacitor. Film-foil, metallized film, and metallized-carrier constructions are typical.
g=Uniform heat generation term, i.e., Power (I 2 ×ESR in cal/sec) divided by winding active volume in cm 3. K=Thermal conductivity When applying Equation (8) to the first two examples of the metallized capacitor outlined in Table 2, the radial heat rise is 13.6°C for the 10 mm example and 5.45°C for the 25 mm example.
Joule heat can be derived from the electric equivalent circuit of the double layer capacitor. Changes in entropy were found to be the cause for the reversible heat effect: ions in the electrolyte are ordered during charging and they mix themselves again during discharging.
The ESR value in the formula is the maximum ESR of the capacitor at the required frequency. This can be determined by measuring capacitors and determining a maximum value by using the mean value and adding 3 or more standard deviations. Some manufacturers specify the maximum impedance at 100kHz or 1 MHz.

heat generation, according to the formula: (1) P = I2 x ESR The power (P) dissipated in the capacitor results in an elevation of temperature. The allowable temperature rise of a capacitor due to power dissipation is determined by experience. For example, this value is + 20 °C maximum for molded chip capacitors. This in turn limits the power that the capacitor can dissipate. …
