GEM III Construction

Regal-Beloit’s GEM III capacitors are manufactured with
high-grade metallized polypropylene film. This film is in the
range of 5 to 10 microns thick, depending on the
application, voltage, and conditions. The metallized
electrode is several hundred angstroms thick.
The film is wound into capacitor rolls on high-speed, high-
precision machines. The winding is extremely tight so that
there is not enough space between the layers for corona
(localized partial electrical discharges) to occur. The rolls
are sprayed on both ends with metal to make the
connection to the extremely thin edges of the metallized
electrodes. This process is critical to the quality and
performance of the capacitors.
The rolls are assembled in metal cases, Regal-Beloit’s
proprietary Dielektrol VI liquid is introduced under
vacuum, and the capacitors are sealed. They are then
subjected to 100% electrical testing for capacitance,
dissipation factor, and high potential electrical withstand,
both terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-case.
