    Subject 1283

    March 24, 2014

    SUMMARY OF TOPICS

    The following changes in requirements to the Standard for Electromagnetic Interference Filters,
    UL 1283, are being proposed for preliminary review and comment only:

    1. For Preliminary Review Only: Revision of Requirements for Capacitors

    COMMENTS DUE: April 23, 2014

    This proposal is for review and comment only (no ballot at this time). Please note that comments on a
    preliminary review document will not receive a response from the proposal author through CSDS.
    Instead, the proposal author will be asked to review the comments and adjust the proposals and/or
    supporting rationale as the author determines to be appropriate. The preliminary review process is an
    informal mechanism that provides authors with the opportunity to refine their proposals before they
    advance to the next stage in UL’s standards development process.

    In some cases, the author of the proposals may choose to discontinue them. In this case, the author
    need not do anything after preliminary review has ended. Normally, the next step in the process is the
    more formal STP ballot and stakeholder review process. Only comments posted during the STP ballot
    and stakeholder review process will be provided with a response in CSDS.

    UL’s goal is to have no interest category comprise more than one-third of the STP membership
    balance. To improve the current balance for STP 1283, UL is looking for participants in the Producer,
    Commercial/Industrial User, General, AHJ, Government Testing & Standards, and Consumer interest
    categories. Definitions for these interest categories are available on the Standards STP Internet site:

    http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/solutions/standards/developstandards/participation/
    interestcategories/

    If you are interested in applying for STP 1283 membership or are aware of potential candidates for this
    STP, please contact the STP Project Manager, [email protected].

    For your convenience in review, proposed additions to existing requirements are shown underlined and
    proposed deletions are shown lined-out.

    RATIONALE

    Proposal submitted by: Joseph Degregoria, UL LLC


    SUBJECT 1283 -2- MARCH 24, 2014

    PROPOSAL

    24 Capacitors

    24.1 Capacitors other than those employed in a secondary circuit shall comply with the Dielectric
    Voltage-Withstand Test, Section 28, Insulation Resistance Test, Section 29, and Endurance Test, Section
    31.

    Exception No. 1: Capacitors that comply with the across-the-line requirements in the Standard for
    Capacitors and Suppressors for Radio- and Television-Type Appliances, UL 1414, meet the requirements
    for use in Filters.

    Exception No. 2 1: Capacitors employed within filters that are subjected to the tests outlined in 24.1 meet
    the requirements.

    Exception No. 3 2: Capacitors that comply with the requirements in the Standard for Fixed Capacitors for
    use in Electronic Equipment, IEC 60384-14, or the Standard for Fixed Capacitors for Use in Electronic
    Equipment – Part 14: Sectional Specification: Fixed Capacitors for Electromagnetic Interference
    Suppression and Connection to the Supply Mains, UL 60384-14, meet the requirements for use in filters.
    Unless specifically rated for dc voltage, these capacitors may be used in dc applications up to their ac
    voltage ratings.

    24.1.1 Capacitors complying with UL 60384-14 satisfy the requirements in Insulating Materials, Section
    17, and Flammability Characteristics of Polymeric Materials, Section 20.

    24.2 A discharge means, such as a bleeder resistor, shall be provided to drain the charge stored in a
    capacitor if necessary to comply with the requirements in Capacitance Capacitor Discharge, Section 37.

    24.3 A capacitor employing a dielectric medium more combustible than askarel shall not vent or rupture
    and expel the dielectric medium under conditions of normal or abnormal use.

    24.4 Capacitors, which involve the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when shorted, of
    appliance filters intended for use in radio-, television- and video-type appliances shall comply with the
    requirements in the Standard for Capacitors and Suppressors for Radio- and Television-Type Appliances,
    UL 1414.

    24.5 Capacitors connected across a primary circuit or between a primary circuit and dead metal parts,
    including the grounding conductor, for appliance filters intended for use in telephone equipment,
    telephone equipment power supplies, and the like, shall comply with the requirements for across-the-line
    capacitors in the Standard for Capacitors and Suppressors for Radio- and Television-Type Appliances, UL
    1414.

    24.6 Capacitors within a primary circuit intended for use in Information Technology Equipment shall
    comply with the applicable requirements for ″Capacitors in Primary Circuits″ (1.5.6) in the Standard for
    Information Technology Equipment Safety – Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60950-1.
    SUBJECT 1283 -3- MARCH 24, 2014

    24.7 Capacitors intended for use in Medical Equipment shall comply with the applicable requirements for
    “Connections for Capacitors” (56.4) in the Standard for Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General
    Requirements for Safety, UL 60601-1.
