Metalized polypropylene film capacitors for discharge lamps
Safety
Capacitors in metallized plastic film are widely used and therefore great attention must be paid to safety.
Inefficient operation may have unforeseeable consequences and the reason for any faults may not be identified, especially when the capacitors are used to improve the power factor of fluorescent lamps.
For this reason the EN61048 standards (the first standards in the field of capacitors, integrated at an European level) require that capacitors produced for this purpose undergo a special destruction test with the aim of checking that they are sufficiently resistant to destructive faults.
According to these standards MECO capacitors have been IMQ tested and certified.
