6 FAQs about [Capacitor self-healing and withstand voltage test]
What causes Selfhealing failures in metallised film capacitors?
Xun Wang explored the mecha-nisms of self‐healing failures and discovered that the main reason for self‐healing failures in metallised film capacitors is delamination of the metal layer and cracks in the metallised film resulting from excessive breakdown current .
Do power grid conditions affect the Selfhealing behaviour of capacitors?
In actual operating conditions, the self‐healing behaviour of capacitors is influenced by the operating conditions of the power grid.
What happens if a capacitor has a high square resistance?
Excessively high square resistance indicates an ultrathin metallised layer, leading to cracks between the metallised layer and shoopage when the temperature rises, which will reduce the lifespan of the capacitor. Figure 17 illustrate the influence of different stabilising capacitors C 0.
What is the working condition of a stabilising capacitor?
It is worth noting that when the ratio between the stabilising capacitor C 0 and the metallised film (approximately several tens of nF) approaches 1000:1, which can be considered as infinite power to sample films and is close to the actual operating condition of the capacitor in the power grid, referred to as the working condition.
What happens if a metallized film capacitor is self-cleared?
During self-clearing of metallized film capacitors, there is a gradual decrease of capacitance as a result of an increasing number of self-clearing events, which eventually leads to catastrophic breakdown of the capacitor; for example, see Figure 4 B.
