Duty cycle dependent upon load current and ambient temperature
Only the charging and discharging cycles of the capacitors are relevant for the duty
cycle. If the back-up module is completely charged and working in standby mode the
unit will not heat up. This case is hence thermally equivalent to a unit that is switched off.
Region 1: duty cycle
Uninterrupted charging and discharging
Region 2: 50% duty cycle
Five successive charge-discharge cycles permitted
8.2 CALCULATION OF BACK-UP TIME
For long back-up times the current consumption of the system of approx. 130 mA must be considered!
Example RDCUSV 5C5:
Capacitor energy in J x Efficiency 5000 J x 0,9
Back-up time in sec. = 38 Sek. =
Output current x Output voltage 5A x 23,5V
8.3 CAPACITOR LIFE
NOTE
Capacitor life is temperature-dependent!
The life has been reached when the capacity has dropped to 70% of the nominal capacity.
