Abstract

A capacitor module having a solid dielectric is cleared in a gaseous environment having an electric strength greater than that of air at a pressure of one atmosphere. A plurality of such cleared capacitor modules is formed into a stack which itself is then cleared by the same clearing process. During intended operation in an electric circuit, the capacitor arrangement would be maintained in such gaseous environment having an electric strength greater than that of air at a pressure of one atmosphere.
