Scope
Foreword?This standard??s principal objective is to provide a basis for uniformity in design and testing of shunt power capacitors.This standard was revised in response to a need created by the continuous changes in capacitor technology@ primarily in the areas of internally fused and fuseless capacitors@ and the need to move capacitor application information previously contained in this standard to IEEE Std 1036-1992@ IEEE Guide for Application of Shunt Power Capacitors. It was also the aim of this revision to coordinate the information contained in this standard@ whenever possible@ with other pertinent national and international standards.ScopeThis standard applies to capacitors rated 216 V or higher@ 2.5 kvar or more@ and designed for shunt connection to alternating current transmission and distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz@ within the guidelines of IEEE Std 1036?-19921.
