Class X2 and Y2 are the most commonly used safety-certified capacitors. Whereas X2 and Y2 caps are appropriate for household applications, X1 and Y1 safety capacitors are used in industrial settings. Y Capacitors: Also known as “line to ground capacitors” (line bypass.) Y capacitors are used in applications where failure of the capacitor could lead to the danger of electrical shock to the user, if the ground connection is lost.
JYA Y1 and Y2 Safety Standard Recognized Capacitors Typical applications:
Line disturbances suppression, Motors and motor controls, Relays, Switching power supplies, Inverters, Line-to-line (Class X) filtering, Line-to-ground (Class Y) filtering, Antenna coupling, Primary and secondary coupling, Network and security protection, audio visual product,, Home Appliance, new energy, Industry automation, LED
