Tech/Engineering / Condensators
German term or phrase: Beanspruchungsdauer
"Gütebestätigung CECC 30901 beantragt.

"Mit Gießharz vergossene Kunststoffbecher (Schwer entflammbar nach UL 94 V-0). Durch kleine Eigeninduktivität (≥180 pF durch Stirnkontaktierung) und geringen Ausfallsatz während der Beanspruchungsdauer von 105 Stunden besonders geeignet für HF-, ZF- und Trägerfrequenzfilter in Kombination mit RM-SIFERRIT-Kernen.

As you can see, it's the same sentence as my previous question. Context is a description of some sort of condensator.

What is "Beanspruchungsdauer", exactly? Can't find it in my sources. Maybe it's in somebody's DeVries or Ernst? A quick answer would be appreciated. TIA for your help.

It was very hard to decide between this one and Klaus Hermann's suggestion, but this seemed to be slightly more favoured in the "agrees". So I'll run with "operating period" on this occasion. Special thanks also to John Jory for setting me straight on "capacitor" - a careless slip on my part, although I have come across the word before and used the correct term. "Kondensator" is definitely a "falscher Freund"!

Anyway, thanks again to Gillian, Klaus B. and Klaus H., John and the others who contributed something here. I appreciate your help.

load duration


Explanation:
Same document again:
...the actual total time subjected to nominal voltage.

This would fit the definition of Beanspruchungsdauer, I think. However, I found a bi-lingual document translating B.dauer as "operating days", which doesn't sound overly accurate to me. But the German definitions will shed some light on any additional terms you might need.

agree  Steffen Walter: Das geht natürlich auch (oder "period under load"?)
1 hr
  -> Stimmt, aber da es ein Vishay ein amerikanischer Hersteller aus diesem Bereich ist, würde ich diesen Begriff verwenden.
agree  transatgees: "period under load" sounds more natural to me
2 hrs
  -> Yes, but I'm tempted to think this is the technical term. Enough relevant AND native googles to convince me.
