Abstract
In a capacitor, a dielectric fluid including 0 to about 10 wt. % of an antioxidant, 0 to about 10 wt. % of an epoxide stabilizer, the remainder essentially a compound with more than two stearate groups. The presently preferred compound of the dielectric fluid is glyceryl tri(acetoxystearate). A primary function of the dielectric fluid is to help prevent air from contacting the capacitor body of the capacitor. The capacitor body includes as its dielectric a plastic film such as polypropylene and the above mentioned dielectric fluid. Air pockets in and around the capacitor body are impregnated with such fluid to minimize disruptive electrical or corona discharges without harmfully swelling the plastic film to thereby improve the operating efficiency of such capacitor.
