Shunt power capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. systems having a rated voltage up to and including 1 000 V – Part 2: Ageing test, self-healing test and destruction test

IEC 60831-2 Ed. 3.0 b – Shunt power capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. systems having a rated voltage up to and including 1 000 V – Part 2: Ageing test, self-healing test and destruction test

IEC 60831-2:2014 applies to capacitors according to IEC 60831-1 and gives the requirements for the ageing test, self-healing test and destruction test for these capacitors. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1995. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– Updating of the normative references;
– Discharge cycles before ageing test carried out at ambient temperature;
– Alternative Self-healing test at d.c. voltage;
– Modified acceptance conditions after Self-healing test;
– Modifications to Destruction test. Keywords: IEC 60831-1, requirements for the ageing test, self-healing test and destruction test for capacitors
