  • Abstract
    Experience with all-film capacitors of both dry and oil impregnated types in power electronic equipment has been discussed from the users´ viewpoint. The consequential results of failure can be considerable and, although capacitors have proved to be generally reliable devices, the wide variety of failures encountered have often been associated with batch manufacturing problems
