Self- healing is the ability of a metallized capacitor to clear a fault area where a momentary short occurs due to dielectric breakdown under voltage. The conditions that lead to a fault vary. In the production of the dielectric film, contamination can occur or a process control problem can result in compromised dielectric strength.
The intense heat generated by this arc causes the metallization in the vicinity of the arc to vaporise (figure 2). Simultaneously it re-insulates the electrodes and maintains the operation and integrity of the capacitor (figure 3). Did this answer your question?
Abstract: Metallized film capacitors (MFCs) are known for their self-healing (SH) properties, enabling efficient and reliable operation, even under challenging conditions. These SH events have the potential to inflict damage on both the polypropylene (PP) film and the electrode layer.
RP serves as a valuable tool for evaluating the safety of MFCs with an unknown SH history, contributing to the assessment of their reliability. Metallized film capacitors (MFCs) are known for their self-healing (SH) properties, enabling efficient and reliable operation, even under challenging conditions.
Self-healing is the spontaneous extinction of a local electrical arc due to the destruction of the electrodes during the process. It occurs in capacitors made of metallized films of plastics with a thin layer of metal (the layer thickness e is ∼10 nm). This phenomenon was first studied by Heywang and Kammermaier , . They showed that
However, not all types of SH damage lead to catastrophic failure of the capacitor. Thus, finding the threshold of SH that has little impact on the reliability of the capacitor is important. This article classifies SH events based on their SH energy, ranging from safe to risky, and establishes thresholds for safe SH.
