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.
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].
The self-healing energy of a 10 μm thick film is 3.46 times higher than that of a 6 μm thick film, and the film thickness has a significant effect on the self-healing energy of the capacitor.
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.
