Abstract

A method is provided for gelling a dielectric in an alternating current capacitor of the type having a housing enclosing a pair of convolutely wound electrodes and dielectric spacers interleaved therebetween for separating the electrode with at least one of the electrodes being formed by a metallized film and using a dielectric of soybean oil, the method comprising adding an alkylhydroxyphenlalkanolyhydrazine compound to the soybean oil to gel the same within the housing so as to reduce its mobility and maintain the dielectric in proximity to the electrodes for reducing electrical corona discharge between the electrodes and for reducing electrical erosion of the electrodes.
