I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm (and/or add to) the following, which is my understanding of the application of the various classes of supression capacitor:
X2 - suitable for applications where the supply is connected directly across the capacitor but the appliance is not permanently connected; X1 - Suitable for applications where the supply is connected directly across the capacitor and the appliance is permanently connected; Y - Suitable for applications where the capacitor is connected directly between the supply and accessible conductive parts. These definitions are based on Clause 14.2 of EN60065 but any references to other standards which apply would also be useful. Thanks Nick. --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
