EVS-EN 60384-17:2008

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.  Capacitors covered by this specification are mainly intended for use with alternating voltage and/or for pulse applications. The maximum reactive power applicable is 10 000 var and the maximum peak voltage is 3 000 V. Capacitors for reactive power exceeding 500 var and to which a maximum peak voltage of 2 500 V at 50 Hz can be applied are not covered by this standard, except when they are the highest part of a range of reactive power mainly situated below 500 var at 50 Hz.
