Abstract

A capacitor in which the capacitive element is impregnated and encapsulated by a composition having a softening point above the normal operating temperature of the capacitor and below the temperature that would occur following a failure of the capacitive element (or in another aspect below the temperature at which the polypropylene film of a polypropylene film capacitor shrinks). In other aspects the composition is a blend of polybutene and polyethylene; and a method of impregnating a capacitor is provided.
