Abstract :
Five different types of high voltage capacitors have been tested to determine their maximum high voltage overstress coefficient. Chicago condenser, Reynolds industries, Hivolt, and TDL capacitors of capacitance 100 nF and different nominal voltages were tested in the single shot mode. Experiments have shown that the energy stored under overstress conditions in all types of the capacitors tested is 10 to 20 times more than the nominal energy.
