Re: ALCON Capacitors for MMC ...

Discharce Voltage/Discharge Time. Some common units are volts per
microsecond as in 2500V/uS. It's obviously a measure of the rate of voltage
change. When you get really high, you can destroy the dielectric. Also, some
materials are too "slow" for some applications, and simply cannot charge or
discharge any faster.
