Repetition: Three Times Voltage Peak: X1 cap - 4Kv, X2 cap - 2.5kV Y2 cap - 5kV 1500VAC Okaya characterizes all capacitors using the standard test procedures outlined in JIS C 5102, 5150, 5151. These test parameters are confirmed by a Q.A. audit and are published as guaranteed specifications shown as “dielectric withstanding voltage”. Okaya performs 100% screen testing of all capacitors during the production process. These tests are subject to changes due to improvements in test equipment and procedures and are published for reference only. 5 SUPPRESSION CAPACITORS OUTLINE OF CAPACITOR CLASS RATINGS Capacitor are classified by the IEC into two categories (these designations are used by most European countries). Class Y: Capacitors used in applications where damage to the capacitor may involve danger of electrical shock. Class X: Capacitors used in applications where damage to the capacitor will not lead to the danger of electrical shock. These X and Y Classifications are further divided into subcategories as shown in the tables. (Ref. IEC60384-14, 2nd edition, 1993)
