6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Polypropylene film self-healing capacitor”

Does self-healing damage metallized polypropylene film capacitors?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Self-healing (SH) in metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) can lead to irreversible damage to electrode and dielectric structures, resulting in capacitance loss and significant stability degradation, especially under cumulative SH conditions.

Why does a metallized polypropylene capacitor have a partial discharge?

Capacitors made of metallized polypropylene films suffer partial discharges, called self-healing, due to weak electrical defects. Those defects are destroyed by an electrical arc that extinguishes when enough metal of the electrodes is vapourized around this point.

What are metallized polypropylene film capacitors?

Introduction Metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) offer numerous advantages, including low dielectric loss, high power density, long cycling life, rapid charge–discharge capabilities, and excellent temperature stability. These attributes make MPPFCs the preferred choice for high-voltage, high-capacity power electronic systems [1, 2].

What is a metal film capacitor?

Image courtesy of KYOCERA AVX. On the other hand, metal film capacitors rely on a metallized dielectric film to form the capacitive structure. Many film materials are available - most commonly, polypropylene and polyester.

Why should you choose a film capacitor with controlled self-healing?

Catastrophic failures and associated explosions or fires are unacceptable. Just as importantly, service lifetime and predictability for optimizing up-time are critical to the product's success. Film capacitors with controlled self-healing are the ideal solution to these challenges and can be obtained in various sizes and technical specifications.

Can a self-healing process destroy a capacitor?

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.
