High Energy Capacitors for Moderate Repetition Rate
Abstract
Capacitors weighing approximately six ounces, and capable of supplying 12 joules of energy for 50, 000, 000 charge-discharge cycles at 10 pps can be produced using metallized coated 0.00027 inch PET and silicone oil as an impregnant. The design objectives of the contract were accomplished. At a repetition rate of 10 pps, silicone oil impregnated units exhibit longer life than do dry unimpregnated units of the same construction. Silicone oil acts more as a heat transfer medium to conduct heat away from the capacitor windings and end connectors rather than increase the dielectric strength of the unit.
