Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of self-regenerating capacitors, there is applied to insulating strips (3, 4) before they are rolled up, metallized layers (6, 7; 8, 9) of which the median thickness is decreased towards either side of the strips to leave a median zone of metallization (5) of normal thickness located at a specified distance from the edges of the insulating strips, and a thermal circuit-breaker (14, 19) is inserted on the axis of each coil in the vicinity of said zone of greater thickness, with the short-circuit device being coupled in series with a connection wire of each of the coils (10, 11).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an auto-regenerable capacitor, in which there is simultaneously wound a first tape (1) of dielectric material metallized on one of its sides except on one of the edges, and a second tape (2) of the same constitution as the first tape, arranged so that its non-metallized edge is opposite to the non-metallized edge of the first tape. A pair of packing tapes (7,8) is inserted between the ends of the first and second metallized wound tapes (1,2). The packing tapes (7,8) have approximately the same width as the first and second tapes (1,2) and are each covered by at least one metallic sheet (9,10) of a pre-determined length. A metal layer is deposited on either side of the wound edges of the first and second tapes (1,2) and also of the packing tapes (7,8).
