Note: If the working voltage (V) is lower than the rated voltage (VR), the capacitor may work at higher dv/dt. In this case the
maximum value allowed is obtained multiplying the above value (see table dv/dt) with the ratio VR /V. The pulse characteristic
K0 depends on the voltage waveform and in any case it cannot exceed the value given in the above table.
