DANSK DSF/PREN 60384-16 PDF

This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed capacitors with metallized electrodes and poly- propylene dielectric for use in electronic equipment. These capacitors may have "self-healing properties" depending on conditions of use. They are mainly intended for use with direct voltage. The maximum power to be applied is 500 var at 50 Hz and the maximum peak voltage is 2 500 V. The following two grades are covered; − Grade 1: for long-life application; − Grade 2: for general application. Capacitors for alternating voltage and pulse applications are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-17. Capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-14. Capacitors for electrical shock hazard protection (covered by IEC 60065) and fluorescent lamp and motor capacitors (covered by IEC technical committee 33, and IEC technical committee 34) are also excluded.
