DIN EN 60674-3-1:2012-06

This International Standard is part of a series of standard dealing with plastic films for electrical purposes. The series consists of the following three parts: Part 1: Definitions and general requirements (IEC 60674-1). Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60674-2). Part 3: Specifications for individual materials (IEC 60674-3). This standard is one of the sheets which make up Part 3: Sheet 1: Biaxially oriented polypropylene (PP) film for capacitors. This Sheet of IEC 60674-3 deals with the requirements for biaxially oriented polypropylene films 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 standard meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. 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. The responsible committee is K 181 "Feste elektrische Isolierstoffe" (AK 181.0.8 "Klebebänder und Folien") ("Solid electrical insulating materials" (WG 181.0.8 "Tapes and foils")) of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
