18、RF-39018 aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors should be acceptable for storage and issue within a 10-year certified period computed from date of manufacture if stored as recommended in 4.1, condition A (2), or within 4 years from date of last inspection (see 4.3). 4.3 Inspection frequency. 4.3.1 M
19、IL-C-62 and non-military grade: At the end of 6 years, or 4 years from the date of manufacture, depending upon storage conditions (see 4.2) or 3 years from the last inspection period, capacitors should be inspected (see 4.6) to determine if the dc leakage requirements of the applicable acquisition d
20、ocument can be met. 4.3.2 MIL-PRF-39018: At the end of 10 years or 5 years from the date of manufacture, depending upon storage conditions (see 4.2) or 5 years from the last inspection period, capacitors should be inspected (see 4.6) to determine if the dc leakage requirements of the applicable acqu
21、isition document can be met. 4.4 Inspection sampling. At the end of the specified period (see 4.3), it is recommended that a sample as shown in table I be selected. If the number of defectives exceeds zero, it is recommended that all capacitors be tested; those units not meeting the requirements of
22、the applicable acquisition document dc leakage should be reformed and redated, if acceptable. All units exhibiting out-of-tolerance dc leakage characteristics after reforming should be discarded.

MIL-C-62 and non-military grade aluminum electrolytic fixed
24、 capacitors more than 12 years old should be disposed of. MIL-PRF-39018 aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors more than 15 years old should be disposed of. 4.6 Inspection method. The method of inspection should be visual and technical (see 4.3 and 5.1). 5. DETAILED GUIDENCE 5.1 DC leakage limits. T
25、he dc leakage limits should be in accordance with the applicable acquisition document. If limits are not available for non-military grade capacitors, use applicable MIL-C-62 limits. The following electrical tests are applicable: a. Electrical failure - DC leakage. b. Electrical failure - Out of tole
26、rance. 5.2 Visual requirement. Aluminum capacitors should be examined for the following defects: a. Damaged material. b. Excessive corrosion. c. Marking. d. Packaging. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-HDBK-1131B 4 5.3 Reforming. Gr
27、oups of electrolytic capacitors should be reformed in accordance with figure 1. 5.3.1 Capacitor reforming groups. The tungsten filament lamp in series with the capacitor bank will serve as a limiting resistor, which allows the voltage across the capacitors to rise as the leakage current decreases. T
28、he lamp size should be chosen so that the load current will not exceed an average of 5 milliamperes (mA) per capacitor. Otherwise, internal heating may cause permanent damage to the capacitors under test. The reforming current for each capacitor or section should be limited to a maximum of 5 mA so t
29、he total current for each bank is equal to the number of capacitors or sections being reformed, multiplied by 0.005 amperes. Example: Determine what size lamp shall be placed in series with a bank of 50 capacitors with similar voltage ratings. No of capacitors Amperes Amperes 50 x .005 = 0.250 Since
30、 the capacitors are initially uncharged, their resistance may be considered negligible and the entire voltage drop would then appear across the lamp. The wattage of the lamp would then be: Amperes Volts Watts 0.250 x (rated) = - 5.3.2 Capacitor voltage. The power supply output voltage should be so a
31、djusted that the initial total current does not exceed 5 mA per axial leaded capacitor and 10 mA per radial, threaded terminal capacitor. As the leakage current decreases, the power supply output voltage will be adjusted so that the total current does not exceed current specified above. This procedu
32、re will be repeated until rated voltage appears across the capacitor bank or until 4 hours have elapsed. 5.3.3 Capacitor reforming time. The leakage current which an electrolytic capacitor will pass increases with temperature rise. Heat is generated in the electrolytic capacitor during the reforming
33、 process. Accordingly, leakage current measurements made immediately after reforming will be higher than at ambient temperature. If leakage current measurements taken immediately after reforming are within specified limits, the capacitor should be considered acceptable. The capacitors should be refo
34、rmed for a maximum period of 1 hour or for a shorter period where the leakage current measurements fall within specified limits. Where the limits are still exceeded after the 1-hour period, the capacitors should be removed from the voltage source, held for approximately 24 hours, and the leakage tes
35、t performed again. 5.4 Packaging. Packaging should be in accordance with the applicable acquisition document.
