This document applies to capacitors in accordance with DIN EN 60871-1 (VDE 0560-410) and describes the requirements for ageing tests on these capacitors. There are no restrictions on the scope of application. The standard differs from DIN IEC/TS 60871-2 (VDE V 0560-420):2015-10 as follows: a) the cyclic overvoltage test has been moved to IEC 60871-1:2014; b) Clause 5 on testing the reliability of elements in capacitors without fuses has been added. The ageing test is a special test that is performed to ensure that progressive ageing due to voltage overloads at elevated temperatures does not cause premature failure of the dielectric. One means of achieving this is to select the correct base material and avoid rapid ageing. The test should not be considered a means of accurately assessing the service life of a dielectric.
This document replaces DIN IEC/TS 60871-2:2015-10; VDE V 0560-420:2015-10 .
