Abstract:
A monolithic ceramic capacitor having a higher DC breakdown voltage per unit thickness of the dielectric ceramic body than heretofore. The major ingredient of the ceramic is expressed as {(Ba.sub.1-x-y Ca.sub.x Sr.sub.y)O}.sub.k (Ti.sub.1-z Zr.sub.z)O.sub.2, where x, y, z and k are numerals in the ranges specified herein. To this major ingredient is added a minor proportion of a mixture of boric oxide and silicon dioxide in specified ranges of proportions. For the fabrication of capacitors having dielectric bodies of the above composition, the moldings of the mixture of the major ingredient and additives in the specified proportions are sintered to maturity in a reductive or neutral atmosphere and then reheated at a lower temperature in an oxidative atmosphere. The sintering temperature can be so low (1000.degree.-1200.degree. C.) that the moldings can be cosintered with base metal electrodes buried therein.

Abstract:
A user, touch actuable switch panel of the capacitive type that includes one or more touch actuable capacitive switches, each switch including at least two capacitive plate elements formed on a dielectric panel. Conductive paths formed on the dielectric panel interconnect the capacitive plate elements to a source for applying signals to the capacitive plate elements forming said capacitive switches and sensing a resulting change in signal level when a selected switch is actuated by the user. Trim tabs formed on the dielectric panel are provided to balance the effect of stray capacitance between the conductive paths and the capacitive plate elements to maintain the level of change of signal at a determined value upon the actuation of each of said one or more capacitive switches.

Abstract:
In this voltage transformer for compressed-gas insulated high-voltage systems, between a straight internal conductor (1), which is located in a gas space (4) and forms a high-voltage electrode, and a low-voltage electrode (3) surrounding the internal conductor in the gas space (4) a measuring electrode (5) is arranged at which an output voltage is tapped off and fed to a signal processing system (6). In order to reduce the dependence of the output voltage on tolerances and fluctuations of geometric parameters, a guard electrode (7) is arranged between the low-voltage electrode (3) and the measuring electrode (5) and a plate capacitor (11), which is located in insulating gas, is placed between the measuring electrode (5) and earth. Between the guard electrode (7) and earth a supplementary capacitor (13) is also placed which is dimensioned in such a way that the capacitive voltage dividers formed by the internal conductor (1), the measuring electrode (5) and earth, on the one hand, and the internal conductor (1) the guard electrode (7) and earth, on the other hand, have approximately the same transformation ratios. The guard electrode (7) is earthed via a compensating device (14) the impedance of which is dimensioned in such a way that the time constants for the discharges of the measuring electrode 5 and the guard electrode 7 are approximately equal.
Abstract:
A capacitor for use in a medium voltage capacitive voltage divider according to the present invention includes spaced plates encapsulated within an insulating material, the resulting device being usable as a supporting insulator as well as a voltage divider. The plates are configured such that there are no sharp corners or protuberances exposed therebetween, thus minimizing arcing propensity. The capacitor includes a first disc-shaped plate supported by a coaxial rod connected to a corresponding terminal. Dielectric material is cast around the first plate and a second plate is disposed over the exterior surface of the cast dielectric material. An exterior insulating material is encapsulated around the second plate which is electrically connected to a second terminal.
Abstract:
A solid electrolytic capacitor is constructed by a capacitor element body, a metal rod extended through the central part of the element body, an anode member, and an insulating layer placed between the flange part of the anode member and the element body. The capacitor element body consists of a chip-like porous solid formed by shaping and sintering rectifying metal particles, the porous solid having a dielectric layer and a solid electrolytic layer both being formed thereon. The anode member includes a protruded part and a flange part, the end face of the protruded part being brought into contact and connected with one of the end faces of the metal rod. A method of manufacturing solid electrolytic capacitors thus constructed is also disclosed.
