the limits of natural cooling. Artificial cooIinf would not permit smaller units or larger kv-. rating for a r vo unit, because although the increased loss could b# removed, this incren-sed rating would necessitate increasing the voltage applied to the material.
With higher frequencies, the cost per Icv-a. may be reduced by limiting the voltage stress to or below es(abb shed 60 cycle values and artificially removing the excan beat to keep the insulation working temperature within estab lished limits.
A line of high frequency capacitor ratings has been developed employing water cooling to limit internal insulation working temperatures. Water cooling ia practical for thee applications be cause the inductive beating devices must be water cooled also and water cooling facilities are therefore available on such installations, as well aa attendant to regulate the flow of water.
In a capacitor of this kind, there are two major problems not present in 60 cycle capacitors. One is the large amount of heat to be transferred from Uie work ing dielectric to tbe point of dissipation, which in this case; is the water coila, and_th* pther is the Urge currents to be handled. The use of copper foil provides a path of high thermal conductivity and at the aarae time, permits efficient soldered bonds to the water coil for transferring tbs*heat and handling the current", and solderetTbondi at the other end ends for handling the current.

use of copper foil with all turns bonded together with solder, keeps the P R loss in the (oil to a minimum value, as well as rendering the sections non-inductjve.
Construction The capacitor sections or working elements are made by winding a special grade of Westinghouse Inertex paper with thin copper foil. Tbe foil* of each polarity extend beyond the paper at each side of the section. One of ths* extensions ia bonded together and a t tached to a heavy flexible lead. The other is bonded together and soldered to the water coil in the final assembly. Thia connection serves the double purpose of conducting the heat to tbe water and carry ing the current. Tbe cooling coil conaista of a con tinuous length of special copper tubing free from sharp turns that might be come clogged. See Fig. 2. The sections are assembled between clamp plates and located within tbe cooling coil as shown in Pig. 3. Tbe lends ar* brought out at the center as shown, and the ground terminals of
each group of arctkms it near the ends of the case. This arrangemen t crimes the heat from the center in both direc tions, resulting in uniform distribution of henl left in the cnsc. Liberal lends and studs are provided to handle the current encountered fat these ratings. The cooling lubes pass along tbe top edge of the cl.imp plates and are soldered in grooves. Tl>e ground connection or mid point of the capacitor is alto made at this point. Tins mid point mutt handle the currant for both groups when used. The design provides for direct cooling of this connection as shown in Fig. 4. the heavy braids conducting the heal directly to the water coils.
Pig 5 shows a cut-away view of a complete unit. The terminals are sold ered to porcelain type, having heavy studs with H -- 13 thread. Figs. 6 and 6 further illustrate the rheme of con nections. The main terminals are in dicated as 1 and 3, Figs. 6 and 7.
The case is all welded construction with A" recess at the bottom to aid in locating the unit on insulators, as ia most applications, the cases must be insulated from ground. The top of the case is made of non-magnetic stainless steel on ratings of 5000 cycles and above, to limit the heat generated in the cover.

The working Iowa are equal or leas than W ol i% ot the lev-a. at which the unit is being op e n ted.
RatInga
Capacitors for high frequency service are rated in terms of maximum operat ing voltages for one or more frequencies. A unit having a given voltage and fre quency rating may be operated at or below this voltage and any, lower fre quency. For a higher frequency, the
unit may be worked at a lower voltage; Units should not be operated at fre quencies higher than nameplate values without advice from headquarters as to the operating voltage limit at this higher frequency.

Precaution*
It is not customary to equip high frequency capacitor milalfations with permanently connected discharge de vices, although these can be mpplicd when ordered. In most applications, the circuit arrangement provides for auto matic recharging. However, in all cases before handling a capacitor unit, it should be discharged, using an insulated wire and avoiding drawing the dis charge arc from the threads of the capacitor terminals, as this may damage the threads.
The outlets from each capacitor or each group of capacitors which are in senes on the wateT line should be located in an easily accessible place where the flow of water can be measured and ob served and its temperature measured from time to time. Where there is like lihood of interruption of the water supply, such as stoppage of auxiliary pumps, etc., it is preferable to provide interlocking means to shut down the
equipment when the flow of water through the capacitors is terminated or substantially reduced, as the capacitor might easily be damaged otherwise.
Where the capacitors are exposed to freer.ing temperature and are not in operation, provisions must be made for blowing the residual water out of the capacitor units by means of air pressure.
The capacitor cooling coils and the water system should be periodically blown out to eliminate the accumulation of sediment, a t' intervals depending upon the local water supply. Strainers should be provided on the water supply main connections.
The capacitor unite covered in Table 1 are all equipped with a nameplate as shown In Pig. II, giving the rating on the basis of series or parallel operation, and in some coses the rating is given for more Ilian one frequency. This nameplate is typical of one unit, style number 1124042.
