Test Ca
• Self-extinguishing encapsulation. The
material is recognized according to
UL 94 V-0.
• Excellent self-healing properties.
Ensures long life even when subjected to
frequent overvoltages.
• High dU/dt capability.
• Good resistance to ionisation due to
impregnated dielectric.
• The capacitors meet the most stringent
IEC humidity class, 56 days.
• The impregnated paper ensures
excellent stability giving outstanding
reliability properties, especially in
applications having continuous
operation.
