Wechselspannungsmotorkondensatoren - Teil 2: Motoranlaufkondensatoren (IEC 60252-2:2010 + A1:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN 60252-2:2011 + A1:2013
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 liquid 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 DKE/K 341 "Leistungskondensatoren" ("Power capacitors") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
