1.1 Scope and object
This Part 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 100 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 Part 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 GB/T 3667.2.
Note: The following are excluded from this Part:
— shunt capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. power systems of up to and including 1 000 V nominal voltage;
— shunt capacitors of non-self-healing type for a.c. power systems of up to and including 1 000 V nominal voltage;
— shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a nominal voltage above 1 000 V;
— capacitors for induction heat-generating plants, operating at frequencies between 40 Hz and 24 000 Hz;
— series capacitors;
— coupling capacitors and capacitor dividers;
— capacitors to be used in power electronic circuits;
— small a.c. capacitors to be used for fluorescent and discharge lamps;
— 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.
