Describes the requirements for paper and film-paper dielectric capacitors with other than polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impregnants, hermetically sealed in metal cases, for general-purpose applications on ac voltages. These capacitors are intended for use with motors, high intensity discharge (HID) lighting ballasts, ferroresonant transformer power supplies, some power factor correction, and other applications and are rated for service in 50-HZ or 60-Hz circuits.
