BS EN 61048:2006+A1:2016
This standard BS EN 61048:2006+A1:2016 Auxiliaries for lamps. Capacitors for use in tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamp circuits. General and safety requirements is classified in these ICS categories:
- 29.140.99 Other standards related to lamps
- 29.140.30 Fluorescent lamps. Discharge lamps
This International Standard states the requirements for both self-healing and non-self-healing continuously rated a.c. capacitors of up to and including 2,5 kVAr, and not less than 0,1 µF, having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, which are intended for use in discharge lamp circuits operating at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and at altitudes up to 3 000 m.
These lamps and associated ballasts are covered by IEC 60081 , IEC 60901 , IEC 60188 , IEC 60192 , IEC 60662 , and IEC 61167 and by IEC 61347‑2‑8 and IEC 61347‑2‑9 , respectively.
It covers capacitors intended for connection in shunt or in series with the lamp circuit or an effective combination of these.
It covers only impregnated or unimpregnated capacitors, having a dielectric of paper, plastic film or a combination of both, either metallized or with metal foil electrodes.
This standard does not cover radio-interference suppressor capacitors the requirements for which are found in IEC 60384‑14 .
Tests given in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual capacitors during production are not included.
Particular requirements for built-in capacitors having an insulation equivalent to double or reinforced insulation are given in Annex E.
