Scope:

This International Standard states the requirements for both self-healing and non-self-healing continuously rated a.c. capacitors of up to and including 2.5 kvar, and not less than 0.1 µF, having a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, which are intended for use in discharge lamp circuits operating at 50 Hz or 60 Hz and at altitudes up to 3 000 m.

It covers capacitors intended for connection in shunt or in series with the lamp circuit or an effective combination of these.

It covers only impregnated or unimpregnated capacitors, having a dielectric of paper, plastic film or a combination of both, either metallized or with metal foil electrodes.

This standard does not cover radio-interference suppressor capacitors the requirements for which are found in IEC 384-14.

Tests given in this standard are type tests. Requirements for testing individual capacitors during production are not included.

Project need:

In considering the current status of the above mentioned CSA Standards, CSA Staff have recommended that: CAN-CSA -E1048-98 - Capacitors for use in tubular fluorescent and other discharge lamp circuits — General and safety requirements be withdrawn due to obsolete technology, also the standard E1048 has been withdrawn by IEC and the requirements have been transferred to 61048:2006+AMD1:2015. CSA Group will start soon an adoption project for latest IEC 61048 standard, currently being adopted ED1 of the mentioned IEC standard.
