1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This International Standard applies to motor capacitors intended for connection to windings of asynchronous motors supplied from a single-phase system having a frequency up to and including 1 00 Hz, and to capacitors to be connected to three-phase asynchronous motors so that these motors may be supplied from a single-phase system.
This standard covers impregnated or unimpregnated capacitors having a dielectric of paper, plastic film, or a combination of both, either metallized or with metal-foil electrodes, with rated voltages up to and including 660 V.
Motor start capacitors will be covered by IEC 60252-2 * .
NOTE The following are excluded from this standard:
– shunt capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. power systems of up to and including 1 000 V nominal voltage (see IEC 60831 -1 );
– shunt capacitors of non-self-healing type for a.c. power systems of up to and including 1 000 V nominal voltage (see IEC 60931 -1 );
– shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a nominal voltage above 1 000 V (see IEC 60871 -1 );
– capacitors for induction heat-generating plants, operating at frequencies between 40 Hz and 24 000 Hz (see IEC 601 1 0-1 );
– series capacitors (see IEC 601 43);
– coupling capacitors and capacitor dividers (see IEC 60358);
– capacitors to be used in power electronic circuits (see IEC 61 071 -1 );
– small a.c. capacitors to be used for fluorescent and discharge lamps (see IEC 61 048);
– capacitors for suppression of radio interference (IEC publication under consideration);
– capacitors intended to be used in various types of electrical equipment and thus considered as components;
– capacitors intended for use with d.c. voltage superimposed on a.c. voltage.
The object of this standard is
a) to formulate uniform rules regarding performance, testing and rating;
b) to formulate specific safety rules;
c) to provide a guide for installation and operation.
