1 Rated Voltage Shown in Rated value. The rated voltage is defined as the maximum voltage which may be
applied continuously to the capacitor.
When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, VP-P or VO-P,
whichever is larger, should be maintained within the rated voltage
range.
2 Appearance No defects or abnormalities. Visual inspection.
3 Dimension Within the specified dimensions. Using calipers. (GRM02 size is based on Microscope)
4 Voltage proof No defects or abnormalities.
