Why are self-healing power capacitors mainly applied in low voltage cases?

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.

Can self-healing capacitors be geometrically optimized?

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.

How does the self-healing process affect capacitor performance?

At this point, the polymer absorbed oxygen and generated insulating materials, which isolated the defective portion from the remainder of the capacitor. Despite the loss of some effective capacitance, the self-healing process had a negligible impact on the overall performance, while substantially reducing the LC [40, 41].

What is a self-healing capacitor group?

A self-healing capacitor group with a rated voltage of 11/ 3 kV and a capacity of 334 kvar is designed and optimized. The temperature rise of the capacitor is appreciably reduced. The results agree well with the above conclusions.

Are metallized film capacitors self-healing?

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.

Does SH damage affect the reliability of a capacitor?

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.
