The self-healing characteristics of film capacitors | doEEEt
Self-healing of capacitors. The electrical properties of a dielectric can be significantly affected by defects. Such defects are mainly caused by external voltage transients, flaws within the dielectric, or pinholes. When a capacitor is subjected to a heavy electrical load, breakdowns can occur due to such defects in the dielectric material.
