BS EN 61048:2006+A1:2016 Auxiliaries for lamps. Capacitors for use in tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamp circuits. General and safety requirements
What is BS EN 61048 – Auxiliaries for lamps about?
BS EN 61048:2006+A1:2016 is and International Standard which states the requirements for both self-healing and non-self-healing continuously rated a.c. capacitors of up to and including 2,5 kVAr, and not less than 0,1 μF, having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, which are intended for use in discharge lamp circuits
This international standard specifies general and safety requirements for capacitors intended for connection in shunt or in series with the lamp circuit or an effective combination of these. It covers impregnated or unimpregnated capacitors, having a dielectric of paper, plastic film or a combination of both, either metallized or with metal foil electrodes.
The standard specifies type tests. Requirements for production testing of individual capacitors is not included.
Performance requirements for these capacitors are the subject of BS EN 61049:1993.
