Applies to fixed direct current capacitors, for rated voltages not exceeding 6300 V, using as dielectric a polyethylene-terephthalate film and electrodes of thin metal foils.

IEC 60384-11:2008 applies to fixed direct current capacitors, for rated voltages not exceeding 6 300 V, using as dielectric a polyethylene-terephthalate film and electrodes of thin metal foils. For capacitors with rated voltages exceeding 1 000 V, additional tests and requirements may be specified in the detail specification. The capacitors covered by this standard are intended for use in electronic equipment. The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60384-1, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Test severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification shall be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not permitted. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1988 and constitutes a minor revision related to tables, figures and references.
