BS EN IEC 60674-3-1:2021

Plastic films for electrical purposes. Specifications for individual materials. Sheet 1. Biaxially oriented polypropylene (PP) film for capacitors | Status: Current, Work in hand

1 Scope This sheet of IEC 60674‑3 gives the requirements for biaxially oriented polypropylene film having a smooth or rough surface, corona treated when required for vacuum metallization. The films are for use as dielectric in capacitors. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application is based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. Safety warning: It is the responsibility of the user of the methods contained or referred to in this document to ensure that they are used in a safe manner.
