Currently, self-healing power capacitors are mainly applied in low voltage cases. This is because that the geometry of the self-healing capacitor is not the most optimized solution. If the high voltage is applied, the temperature rise is significant. The lifetime of self-healing power capacitor is shortened.

Figure 4 depicts the basic process wherein a dielectric defect results in a high current, high-temperature short circuit that quickly demetallizes the surrounding area.
Unfortunately, this mechanism can be dificult to control, and in the worst case, a run-away process can result, causing the destruction of the entire capacitor in short order. To avoid this, KYOCERA AVX developed a controlled self-healing process in 1974 based on the segmentation of overall capacitance into elementary cells protected by fuse gates.
As a result, the geometric optimization of self-healing capacitor should be studied further. To investigate the geometric optimization of self-healing capacitor systematically, the temperature distribution simulation model of self-healing power capacitors with different elements orientations are formulated in Fluent15.0.
