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.
The winding becomes looser and is more readily subject to the formation of creases and cavities. If it is not impregnated the risk of corona increases in alternating voltage applications. To some extent, however, these drawbacks can be eliminated in plastic film capacitors, metallized as well as foil electrode types.
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.
Along the edges of the electrodes field strengths are developed that at a certain magnitude cause a flash-over. Thus one is forced to distribute the voltage over several capacitor elements. For non-impregnated capacitors this construction solution must be engaged even sooner because of the corona risk.
In high voltage, high energy applications such as electric trains and solar power grids, the safety and reliability of capacitors are paramount. 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.
Metallized polymer films (MPFs) with superior self-healing properties are extremely attractive for application in energy storage capacitors. Self-healing behaviors allow MPFs to keep insulating between the local electrical breakdown region and the electrode, thereby reserving long-term operational viability of the capacitors.
Which Capacitor Types Should You Use? | Blogs
Polymer types of capacitors can be used as a replacement for tantalum electrolytic capacitors in most situations as long as they do not exceed the maximum rated voltage, which tends to be lower than that of classical electrolytic capacitors. Polymer capacitors are most commonly found with a rated voltage of up to 35V DC, but there are still plenty of …

A Brief Introduction to the Self-healing of Metalized Film Capacitors …
There are two different mechanisms for self-healing of metalized film capacitors: one is discharge self-healing; the other is electrochemical self-healing. The former occurs at higher voltage, so it is also referred to as high-voltage self-healing; because the latter also occurs at very low voltage, it is often referred to as low-voltage self-healing.
