2. The capacitors are capable of continuous operation at a current not exceeding 1.3 times the rated current.
■INTERNAL PROTECTIVE DEVICE
For capacitors having a capacitance reading which is within the tolerance but in the positive side, the
maximum permissible current can be increased by the positive percentage of the capacitance.
3. Every capacitor is subjected to the following tests to verify that the requirements of the applicable standard
are met.
a. Dielectric withstand test:
The capacitors shall successfully withstand the application of the following voltages.
（1）Between terminals: 2.15 times the rated voltage for 2 seconds.
（2）Between terminals（connected together）and container: 3,000 volts rms for 10 seconds.
b. Capacitance（Output）:
The capacitors shall have a capacitance within ＋15% and −5% of the rated value when measured by
an A.C. bridge at a room temperature. Output will be calculated based on the capacitance value.
