p.s.

look here:

"Checking the RMS current

In the past the procedure for checking RMS current
was difficult to perform accurately. Now
the process is made easy by using a new software
package called PulseCAD, available at no
charge from Evox-Rifa. After selecting a capacitor
and entering the maximum ambient temperature,
PulseCAD graphically shows the
allowed RMS current across any desired frequency
range. PulseCAD can be obtained on disk by contacting
Evox-Rifa, or downloaded directly from the
Evox-Rifa Web site: http:\\www.evox-rifa.com."

you see - "allowed RMS current across any desired =frequency="
then go here:
http://www.evox-rifa.com/europe/pulsecad.htm
and download this proggy - only 4mb.

i`m not askin about "our frequencies" - here is what i`m talkin about:

 >>father dest> it`s useless to write rms rating without its frequency!

oh yeah? look here:

what now?
