BS EN 132400:1995 Harmonized system of quality assessment for electronic components - Sectional specification - Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression and connection to the supply mains (Assessment Level D)
This specification applies to capacitors which will be connected to an a.c. mains or other supply with a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. (r.m.s) or 1 000 V d.c. and with a nominal frequency not exceeding 100 Hz.
This specification prescribes tests which are appropriate when the suppression capacitor is to be connected to the supply mains. The relevant equipment specification may also prescribe other circuit positions where capacitors meeting the requirements of this specification shall be used.
Combinations of two or more capacitors within one enclosure are included within the scope of this specification.
Series resistor-capacitor combinations are within the scope of this specification provided that the resistor is in the same enclosure, and the resultant equivalent series resistance of the combination does not exceed 1 kΩ.
Parallel resistor-capacitor combinations where the resistor acts as a discharge resistor for the capacitor are within the scope of this specification.
Capacitors for special environmental conditions (e.g. drip-proof, splash-proof) may have to comply with additional requirements.
NOTE For notes on the application of electromagnetic interference suppression capacitors see IEC-940.
