In this work, ultra high-voltage (17 - 50 kV AC), reliable 80 pF mica capacitors for partial discharge system application were investigated. Mica was used as the dielectric of the capacitors. Using the conservative design rule, over 3 individual $50\;{\mu}m$ thick mica sheets with a size of 30mm{\times}35mm were used with lead foils to form a parallel capacitor element and 20 mica sheets were interleaved with lead foils to form a series stack of parallel capacitor element to meet the requirements of the capacitors. The dimensions of the fabricated 80 pF capacitors for 17 kV AC and 50 kV AC were $90\;mm{\times}90\;mm$ and $95\;mm{\times}180\;mm$, respectively. The high-frequency characteristics of the capacitance (C) and dissipation factor (D) of the developed capacitors were measured using a capacitance meter. The developed capacitors exhibited C of 79.5 - 87.5 pF, had D of 0.001% over the frequency ranges of 150 kHz to 50 MHz, had a self-resonant frequency of 65 MHz, and showed results comparable to those measured for the capacitors prepared recently by $Adwel^{Tm}$. The developed capacitors also showed excellent characteristics for thermal shock test and temperature cycling test.
