Each individual capacitor shall be subjected to a Vp

=

5.0kV (X1Y2 Class Impulse 5kV) & Vp =

6.0kV

(X1Y2 Class Impulse 6kV) impulse for three times

before applied to endurance test.

Additional pulse test 10/700µs before endurance test

for Y3 class (IEC60950)

* Applied Voltage:

Once every hour the voltage shall be increased to

1000Vrms for 0.1 sec.

* Measurement to be made after keeping at room

temp. for 24±2 hrs (Class I) and 48±4 hrs (Class II)

* Appearance :
