The use of Flourocarbon Gases to Prevent Arc-Over in DC Capacitors

The use of Fr-14 (CF 4 ) and Fr-116 (C 2 F 6 ) 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 arco...

Description
Summary:The use of Fr-14 (CF 4 ) and Fr-116 (C 2 F 6 ) 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.
