Power-type EDLC refers to the application range where discharge currents span from milliampere to ampere levels. These kind of capacitors exhibit high capacitance and low internal resistance characteristics, making them suitable for Category 3 as specified in measurement classification under IEC 62391-1. The definition and calculation steps for power density can be found in Appendix A of IEC 62391-2, as detailed in the following text.<\/p>\n
Power Indicates the electrical power value of the capacitor, in watts (W). Power density indicates the electrical power of a capacitor per unit quality (or volume). The higher the power density, the higher the current efficiency.<\/p>\n
