X2 capacitor is same as Safety capacitor, also called Interference Suppression MKP film capacitors.  X2 capacitors indicate which grade the capacitors can withstand the voltage with normal working.

Have safety approvals, like UL, TUV, CE, VDE approvals.  JFV X2 film capacitors is jb capacitors best seller in market, with quite good quality and shortest lead time. Pls. visit our website www.jbcapacitors.com and contact us for more detail information.

You can use your multimeter as an ohmmeter to test the capacitor.

1) Discharge the capacitor by shortening its leads. that is - use a wire and connect the leads of the capacitor together. this will discharge it.
2) Put your multimeter in the high ranges 10k-1m
3) Connect multimeter to capacitor leads(observe the polarity if electrolytic). at soon as the leads make contact, the meter will swing near zero. it will then move slowly toward infinity. finally the meter would come to be infinite ohms because the capacitor is being charged by the battery of the multimeter.
4) If the capacitor is bad, it will go to zero ohms and remain there. this is called a shortened capacitor
5) In the case of an open capacitor there will be no ohmmeter indication.
6) Some capacitors have a low dielectric leakage. you will know this if the ohmmeter comes to rest at a point lower than infinite. test a known good capacitor of the same type to be sure.

This test works for large capacitors. Tiny capacitors can only be checked with a capacitance meter, or by using them in an AC circuit and checking for variation from calculated voltage drop.

安规电容是指用于这样的场合：即电容器失效后，不会导致电击，不危及人身安全.它包括了X电容和Y电容。

X电容是跨接在电力线两线 (L-N) 之间的电容，一般选用金属化薄膜电容；Y电容是分别跨接在电力线两线和地之间 (L-E, N-E) 的电容，一般是成对出现。

基于漏电流的限制，Y电容值不能太大，一般X电容是uF级，Y电容是nF级。X电容抑制差模干扰，Y电容抑制共模干扰。

Y电容的电容量必须受到限制，从而达到控制在额定频率及额定电压作用下，流过它的漏电流的大小和对系统EMC性能影响的目的。

GJB151规定Y电容的容量应不大于0.1uF。Y电容除符合相应的电网电压耐压外，还要求这种电容器在电气和机械性能方面有足够的安全余量，避免在极端恶劣环境条件下出现击穿短路现象，

Y电容的耐压性能对保护人身安全具有重要意义。
