  • Abstract
    The use of Fr-14 (CF4) and Fr-116 (C2F6) to increase the margin arc-over voltage in dry Mylar energy storage capacitors is investigated. It is found that pressurization of capacitors with Fr-14 results in a small increase in arc-over voltage. However, pressurization with Fr-116 results in arcover voltages 1.5 to 2.5 times larger than obtained in air.
