AC motor capacitors - Part 1: General - Performance, testing and rating - Safety requirements - Guide for installation and operation

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 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.

S'applique aux condensateurs destinés à être raccordés aux enroulements des moteurs asynchrones alimentés par un réseau monophasé dont la fréquence ne dépasse pas 100 Hz, et aux condensateurs destinés aux moteurs asynchrones triphasés pour permettre le raccordement de ces moteurs à un réseau monophasé. La présente norme couvre les condensateurs imprégnés ou non, ayant un diélectrique en papier, film plastique ou une combinaison des deux, soit métallisés, soit à électrodes en feuilles de métal, pour une tension assignée n'excédant pas 660 V.

60252-1  IEC:2001– 7 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION____________AC MOTOR CAPACITORS –Part 1: General – Performance, testing and rating –Safety requirements –Guide for installation and operationFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between thetwo organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical re
