Capacitor with integral discharge resistor and method of manufacture

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure In a capacitor of the wound metallized dielectric type, a section of resistive material is provided on a film forming the metallized dielectric, and this resistive material extends across the film's entire width (the axial dimension of the capacitor). A metal contact for one of the capacitor plates is sprayed on either end of the capacitor so as to touch one end of the section of resistive material, thereby creating a resistive shunt across the plates formed on the metallized film. The section of resistive material is preferably carbon-loaded paper which is secured over an unmetallized area to the film used to make the capacitor. The paper projects beyond either …
