Title: Rep rated long life capacitor development. Final report, 1 April 1981-31 May 1984. Phase I and II

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6193689

Polypropylene and polyolefin resins were characterized and processed into capacitor films. New capacitor films were developed--a post oriented processed, two layer polypropylene film and upgraded polyolefin film. Criteria for judging film quality was developed. Field life data was verified with paper/polypropylene capacitors on the Maxwell Rep Rate Facility. All polypropylene film capacitors were developed with lifetimes in excess of 10/sup 7/ discharges at energy densities for the finished capacitor of 18.3 J/lb and projected to > 20 J/lb.
