GEC
Metallized film capacitors are unsurpassed in terms of size, weight, performance, and reliability
for AC applications. Regal­Beloit brings over 60 year of capacitor manufacturing experience to
the product lines described in this publication. These capacitors represent the best in product
design for long­term reliability and safe operation. Regal­Beloit’s materials, product, and
process development work continue to provide capacitor users with outstanding total value.
The GEM III HID Lighting Capacitors are designed specifically for HID Lighting applications
where the capacitors are used as part of the ballast circuit for mercury vapor, metal halide, and
high­pressure sodium lamps. The units are designed to operate at temperatures up to 90ºC,
which is the normal requirement f or HID ballast capacitors. Due to advances in material
technology and breakthroughs in proprietary capacitor manufacturing processes, selected
ratings are now available for operation up to 100ºC for 60,000 hours.

Descriptive Information
Regal­Beloit’s GEM III capacitors are manufactured with
high­grade 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 high­speed, 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, Regal­Beloit’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 terminal­to­terminal and terminal­to­case.
