IEC 60384-16:2005 Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment - Part 16: Sectional specification - Fixed metallized polypropylene film dielectric d.c. capacitors
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. Capacitors for alternating voltage and pulse applications are not included, but are covered by IEC 60384-17.
The maximum power to be applied is 500 var at 50 Hz and the maximum peak voltage is 2500 V. Two performance grades of capacitors are covered, Grade 1 for long-life application and Grade 2 for general application.
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).
