IS 1569 : 1976 Capacitors for use in tubular fluorescent high pressure mercury and low pressure sodium vapour discharge lamp circuit

1 Scope

1.1 This standard specifies the requirements for bothself-healing and non-self-healing continuously rated ac capacitorsof up to and including 2.5 kV Ar, and not less than 0.1 ½F having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, whichare intended for use in discharge lamp circuits, operating at, 50Hz and at altitudes up to 3 000 m.

1.1.1 It covers capacitors intended for connection in shunt,series or an effective combination of these.

1.1.2 It covers only impregnated or unimpregnated capacitorshaving a dielectric of paper, plastic film, or a combination ofboth, either metallized or with metal foil electrodes.

1.2 The standard does not cover radio-interference suppressorcapacitors.
