CONSOLIDATED WOUND ELECTRICAL CAPACITOR AND METHOD OF MAKING IT

At an end face, an electrical capacitor formed of a consolidated winding of dielectric bands wound with one another, has a circular, oval, or flat cross section. Each is provided with a regenerably thin metal layer as a coating. An incision is employed to create two projections. The coatings alternate from wound layer to wound layer, and extend in these projections up to the ends of the projections, separated by metal-free insulating strips. Thus, antipolar coatings are electrically connected to one another there. The metallized plastic bands are provided with correspondingly arranged metal-free strips which are wound. The windings which result are provided with the incisions.
