What is BS EN 60831-1 - Shunt power capacitors of the self-healing type for a.c. systems about?

BS EN 60831-1 is the first part of an international standard used for Shunt power capacitors of the self-healing type for A.C. systems. BS EN 60831-1 specifies the test methods and procedures for conducting the test and can be your best guide in installing and operating these capacitors. BS EN 60831-1 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 and including 1 000 V and frequencies of 15 Hz to 60 Hz. BS EN 60831-1 also applies to capacitors intended for use in power filter circuits. Additional definitions, requirements, and tests for power filter capacitors are given in Annex A. Note:  The following capacitors are excluded from this part of IEC 60831:

Shunt power capacitors of the non-self-healing type for a.c. systems having a rated voltage up to and including 1 000 V (IEC 60...
