A series capacitor is a type of capacitor intended for high-voltage power systems and covered by this standard. The primary focus of the standard is on transmission applications and series capacitor units and banks.
The rated voltage of a capacitor is limited to 10 000 V. (The operating frequency of the systems in which these capacitors are used is usually up to 15 kHz, while the pulse frequencies may be up to 5 to 10 times the operating frequency.)
This document does not pertain to low voltage oil-filled or direct current (DC) power capacitors. 4.1 Capacitor internal design and construction Description of internal materials, dielectric, insulation, metallization, winding methodology and filling agent.

Fundamentals | Capacitor Guide
In constructing a capacitor, there are three basic factors that needs to be determined. All of these factors dictate capacitance by affecting the amount of electric field flux (relative difference of electrons between plates) that will develop for a given amount of electric field force (voltage between the two plates): Plate Area . All other factors considered equal, greater plate area …

Introduction to Capacitors
In its basic form, a capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates which are not connected or touching each other, but are electrically separated either by air or by some form of a good insulating material. This insulating material could be waxed paper, mica, ceramic, plastic or some form of a liquid gel as used in electrolytic capacitors. As a good introduction to ...

Getting Started – Capacitors
Capacitors are electrical components that store potential energy. They typically contain at least two electrical conductors (plates), separated by a non-conducting insulator (the dielectric). Capacitors are used in nearly every electronic design. They are found in power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, and even in all-digital circuits as ...
