In a nutshell, caps are rated for a certain ripple current, above it they may heat above the allowed temperature.

This said, read up on capacitors, it is an interesting subject.

Suffices it to say that al. can caps of 10uF 450V are rated for roughly 130-180mA, and these are "high ripple" types, regular ones are 60-100mA.
