The performance of the perfluorocarbon liquid/plastic-film capacitor technology in pulse-power service. A current status report
Abstract
Data are presented from a program to evaluate the perfluorocarbon liquid/plastic film capacitor technology. It is indicated the lives of 10(7) cycles at 1 kHz for polysulfone performed without failure to 7x10(6) cycles at 4.7 kV/mil before the test was halted. It is concluded that this capacitor system permits at least an order of magnitude increase in energy density over current systems in repetitive discharge service, particularly for long life at high reliability.
