Type PS
Vishay Sprague
Film Capacitors
Dipped, ORANGE DROP
®
The long established Type PS distribution series continues to
be offered as replacement units as well as for new applications.
Type PS capacitors are widely used in commercial equipment.
Ratings 200 volts through 1000 volts are polyester film with
extended foil. Ratings 1600 volts and 2000 volts are series
wound polypropylene film with extended foil and a metalized
floating common foil which provides self-healing characteristics.
Type PS Orange Drop
®
Capacitors are dipped in orange epoxy
resin for mechanical, electrical and humidity protection.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Operating Temperature:
Capacitors may be operated
at full voltage rating from - 40°C to + 85°C. Units from
200 WVDC through 1000 WVDC may be operated at
+ 125°C with 50% voltage derating; 1600 WVDC and 2000
WVDC units operable to + 105°C with 50% voltage derating.
Insulation Resistance @ + 25
°
C:
The minimum product
of insulation resistance, expressed in Megohms and
capacitance expressed in Microfarads, shall be 5000
Megohm - Microfarads.
Capacitance Tolerance:
±
10%.
Dissipation Factor @ + 25
°
C:
Maximum dissipation
factor of 200 volts through 1000 volts shall be 1%; 1600
volt and 2000 volt ratings shall be 0.1% when measured
at a frequency of 1000Hz.
Life Test:
Capacitors are capable of withstanding a 500
hour life test at + 85°C at 150% of rated voltage. After test,
capacitance shall not have changed by more than 5% of
initial value and insulation resistance shall not have
changed to less than 50% of initial limit.
