Danish term

Erstatningskapacitansen

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Physics
In talking about serial capacitors this line occurs:

Den reciprokke værdi af erstatningskapacitansen C for en seriekobling af kapacitorer er summen af de reciprokke værdier af kapacitanserne af de enkelte kapacitorer.

I'm not sure what would be the correct translation for "erstatningskapacitansen"?

equivalent capacitance

By analogy with German where a number of electronics terms starting with 'Ersatz-' are translated by 'equivalent-', e.g. Ersatzkapazität = equivalent capacitance, and Ersatzkreis = equivalent circuit.
