Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V - Part 1: General
Abstract
This part of IEC 60871 is applicable to both capacitor units and capacitor banks intended to be used, particularly, for power-factor correction of a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V and frequencies of 15 Hz to 60 Hz. This part of IEC 60871 also applies to capacitors intended for use in power filter circuits. Additional definitions, requirements and tests for filter capacitors are given in Annex B. Additional requirements for capacitors protected by internal fuses as well as requirements for the internal fuses are given in IEC 60871-4. Requirements for capacitors to be protected by external fuses, as well as requirements for the same, are given in Annex C. This standard does not apply to capacitors of the self-healing metallized dielectric type.
