Abstract

Recent developments in double-layer capacitor technology have resulted in devices with capacitance ratings of 470 F, with an equivalent series resistance as low as 4 mΩ capable of repeatable current discharges over 570 A. This paper discusses the results of high frequency pulse discharge tests and inductance measurements on a single capacitor, and short circuit testing of an array of three double-layer capacitors during static discharge, single pulse discharge, and 100 Hz pulsed discharge
