SPECIAL CAPACITORS - Resin Encapsulated

Capacitor rating 20kV dc, 20nF.

This custom build capacitor is part of a high-voltage multiplier circuit in a HV psu for X-ray equipment. The capacitor winding is resin encapsulated.

The resin encapsulated unit is further encapsulated with other components to make up one stage of a multiplier stack. These are then assembled into a HV Power Supply Unit (PSU).
