General 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 60931 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 up to
32、and including 1 000 V and frequencies 15 Hz to 60 Hz. This part of IEC 60931 also applies to capacitors intended for use in power filter circuits. Additional definitions, requirements, and tests for filter capacitors are given in Annex A. Additional requirements for capacitors protected by internal
33、element fuses, as well as requirements for the same, are given in IEC 60931-3. The following capacitors are excluded from this part of IEC 60931. Shunt power capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. systems having a rated voltage up to and including 1 000 V (IEC 60831). Shunt capacitors for a.c.
34、 power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V (IEC 60871). Capacitors for inductive heat-generating plants operating at frequencies between 40 Hz and 24 000 Hz (IEC 60110).

35、tor dividers (IEC 60358). Capacitors to be used in power electronic circuits (IEC 61071). Small a.c. capacitors to be used for fluorescent and discharge lamps (IEC 61048 and IEC 61049). Capacitors for suppression of radio interference (under consideration). Capacitors intended to be used in various
36、types of electrical equipment and thus considered as components. Capacitors intended for use with d.c. voltage superimposed on the a.c. voltage. Accessories such as insulators, switches, instrument transformers, fuses, etc., are to be in accordance with the relevant IEC standards. a) to formulate un
37、iform rules regarding performances, testing and rating; b) to formulate specific safety rules; c) to provide a guide for installation and operation. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part
