A safety capacitor is an FCP16N60N capacitor specially designed to ensure the safe operation of electronic devices. They are usually installed in power lines to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) in power lines, while also providing protection in the event of voltage surges to prevent equipment damage. This type of capacitor complies with international safety standards such as UL (USA), VDE (Germany), CSA (Canada), etc., and can withstand high voltage surges and short circuit faults in the power grid without causing fires or electric shocks.diode
There are two main types of safety capacitors: X-type and Y-type. X-type capacitors are installed between two AC lines and can withstand continuous voltage and withstand voltage surges; Y-shaped capacitors are installed between the first line of the AC circuit and the ground wire or equipment casing. They are designed to protect users from electric shock and ensure electromagnetic compatibility. Y-shaped capacitors usually have a lower withstand voltage than X-type capacitors because they are connected to the ground, but for safety reasons, their withstand voltage standards are very strict.diode
There are significant safety risks associated with using capacitors without brand, quality assurance, or safety certification. The following are the dangers that may arise from using capacitors without safety regulations:diode
