Abstract:

The effect of powerful dosages of gamma-radiation on electric and mechanical properties of certain industrial capacitors with different dielectrics was investigated. The investigation covered mica, paper oil, electrolytic and ceramic capacitors. In order to eliminate the effect of conventional errors on the results, we tested several capacitors of each type and average the obtained data. The capacitance of the capacitors, leakage resistance, quality were measured prior and after radiation. The charge of the capacitors was determined at working voltage on them.
