National Electrical Manufacturers Association Capacitors Section

This document provides standard requirements and general guidelines for the design, performance, testing and application of low-voltage dry-type alternating current (AC) power capacitors rated 1,000V or lower, and for connection to low-voltage distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.

What is HIPOT Testing (Dielectric Strength Test)?

Therefore, if we use dc test voltage, we ensure that the dc test voltage is under root 2 (or 1.414) times the ac test voltage, so the value of the dc voltage is equal to the ac voltage peaks. For example, for a 1500-V-ac voltage, the equivalent dc voltage to produce the same amount of stress on the insulation would be 1500 x 1.414 or 2121 V dc.

6 FAQs about [Test standard for voltage-equalizing capacitors]

What are the test severities for a capacitor?

What is the test UC for a capacitor?

The capacitors shall be subjected to IEC 60068-2-21, Test Uc, as applicable. Method A, severity 2 (two successive rotations of 180°) shall be used. This test shall not apply is in the detail specification the terminations are described as rigid and to components with unidirectional terminations designed for printed wiring applications.

How long should a capacitor be tested?

At these parameters of the model the acceleration factors are large, and a 96-hour testing of capacitors at 2 times rated voltage (VR) and 125 °C during voltage conditioning (a typical screening procedure) would be equivalent to testing at operating conditions (assumed 50 °C and 0.5 VR) to more than a thousand years of operation (see Figure 1).

How accurate is a capacitor voltage measurement?

The accuracy of voltage measurements should be 1 mV or better. The resistors will have a value of 100 kOhm for capacitors less than 1 μF and 10 kOhm for capacitors of 1 μF or larger.

Are chip capacitors destined for high reliability testing?

Chip capacitors destined for high reliability testing are often designed with an added margin of safety, namely maximization of the dielectric thickness, and tested extensively for electrical properties prior to burn-in (e.g., capacitance, dissipation factor, and insulation resistance).
