RADIATION EFFECTS ON ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS: A COMPARISON OF PAPER CAPACITORS IMPREGNATED WITH VITAMIN "Q" MINERAL OIL AND BIS-(P-PHENOXYPHENYL) ETHER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4077212
Bis-(p-phenoxyphenyl) ether (BPPE) proved to be highily resistant to irradiation damage. Paper capacitors impregnated with BPPE and others impregnated with vitamin "Q" were irradiated for comparison. Tests with both failed. The paper itself was the major contxibutor of gassing and the subsequent cause of catastrophic breakdown and even rupture of the capacitor casings. Therefore, until some nongassing dielectric material is found, BPPE, though having a low rate of radiation-induced gassing, will not solve the lightweight radiation-resistant capacitor problem.
