Overview
This standard applies to impregnated or unimpregnated metallized motor start capacitors having a dielectric of paper or plastic film or a combination of both and electrolytic motor start capacitors with non-solid electrolyte, with rated voltages up to and including 660 V. Motor start capacitors are power capacitors which assist the engine to start and produce a higher torque if they are used in connection with an auxiliary motor winding. The responsible Committee is K 341 "Leistungskondensatoren" ("Power capacitors") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
