AC Line EMI Suppression and RC Networks
PME295 Series Metallized Impregnated Paper,
Class Y1, 440 VAC/480 VAC
Overview
Applications
The PME295 Series is constructed of multilayer metallized paper
encapsulated and impregnated in self-extinguishing material
meeting the requirements of UL 94 V–0.
Typical applications include safety capacitors for bridging of
double or reinforced insulation applications requiring voltage test
up to 4,000 VAC at 60 seconds. PME295 Series capacitors can
be left in place during this test.
