IEC 60252-1:2010 AC motor capacitors - Part 1: General - Performance, testing and rating - Safety requirements - Guidance for installation and operation
This part of IEC 60252 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.
Motor start capacitors are covered by IEC 60252-2.
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 guidance for installation and operation.
