Overview

The P295 Series is constructed of multilayer metallized paper

encapsulated and impregnated in self-extinguishing material

meeting the requirements of UL 94 V–0.

Applications

Typical applications include safety capacitors for bridging of

double or reinforced insulation applications requiring voltage test

up to 4,000 VAC at 60 seconds. P295 Series capacitors can be

left in place during this test.
