How can metallized film capacitors improve self-healing efficiency?

A significant increase in the efficiency of modern metallized film capacitors has been achieved by the application of special segmented nanometer-thick electrodes. The proper design of the electrode segmentation guarantees the best efficiency of the capacitor's self-healing (SH) ability.

Are metallized film capacitors good for electrical insulation?

Abstract: Metallized film capacitors (MFCs) have been widely commercialized, and the insulation failure has become an important issue under high electric field. However, due to the self-healing characteristic, the MFCs offer a notable advantage in electrical insulation.

Which hypothesis best explains the extinction of self-healing?

Considering the physical observations made by Kammermaier and Heywang on the self-healing process, we can consider that the critical power density is the hypothesis that best explains the extinction of self-healing. Below a given critical energy density, the plasma cannot remain sufficiently ionized and then it cools down very fast.

Is there a correlation between self-healing and carbonized area?

The SEM scan suggests a strong correlation between self-healing and carbonized area on the surface of dielectric layer. A small amount of metallic elements was found to remain in the self-healing area, with no metallic oxide particles. However, a large amount of graphite is composited in the clearing area along with a certain amount of element O.
