Abstract
The ability to predict life of utility equipment offers an opportunity to improve service reliability and to make economic decisions. This p aper addresses determining the electrical life of 500 KV series capaci tors by analysis of field aged samples. The analysis of the capacitors was based on a program to review historical data, to perform electric al and laboratory testing and to study the capacitors after testing by dissecting the unit. The results of the analysis are presented.
