Abstract:We present ultraviolet spectra of 62 cataclysmic variables observed with Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph & Faint Object Spectrograph (HST STIS FOS) to diagnose cataclysmic variables with enhanced NV/C IV line flux ratios. We concentrated on calculating the line flux ratios of the above mentioned sample. We found that a number of cataclysmic variables reveal enhanced NV/C IV line flux ratios in agreement with the previous studies (de Martino and Gänsicke, 2009, Gänsicke et al., 2003). Also we found that two new systems (U SCO, V1974 CYG) reveal enhanced NV/C IV line flux ratios. Such anomalous line flux ratios confirmed that these CVs went through a phase of thermal timescale mass transfer (TTSMT) and now accrete CNO processed material from a companion stripped of its external layers (Gänsicke et al., 2003, Gänsicke, 2004, de Martino and Gänsicke, 2009).
