In the case of metallized film capacitors, self-healing or localized dielectric breakdown due to overvoltage is the main wear-out mechanism. These failure mechanisms and their root causes, along with the other causes of capacitor failure are discussed in detail in the following section.
Currently, self-healing power capacitors are mainly applied in low voltage cases. This is because that the geometry of the self-healing capacitor is not the most optimized solution. If the high voltage is applied, the temperature rise is significant. The lifetime of self-healing power capacitor is shortened.
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.
As a result, the geometric optimization of self-healing capacitor should be studied further. To investigate the geometric optimization of self-healing capacitor systematically, the temperature distribution simulation model of self-healing power capacitors with different elements orientations are formulated in Fluent15.0.
A self-healing capacitor group with a rated voltage of 11/ 3 kV and a capacity of 334 kvar is designed and optimized. The temperature rise of the capacitor is appreciably reduced. The results agree well with the above conclusions.
Self-healing in polymer capacitors involves (i) thermal rupture of the filaments, (ii) formation of voids in the cathode layers, and (iii) charge trapping in the polymer cathode that decreases anomalous currents caused by drying and discharging during breakdown. This work was sponsored by the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging (NEPP) program.
Reliability of tantalum capacitors depends on the efficiency of self-healing that restores parts after breakdown. In this work, different types of polymer and MnO2 cathode capacitors have been tested for scintillation breakdown using a constant current stress (CCS) technique modified to allow detection of amplitudes and duration of current spikes.

Metallized film capacitors (MFCs) are known for their self-healing (SH) properties, enabling efficient and reliable operation, even under challenging conditions. These SH events have the potential to inflict damage on both the polypropylene (PP) film and the electrode layer.
One approach to improve the damage tolerance of materials subjected to high electrical stress and operational lifetime is to provide a degree of self-healing. In this Perspective, we show that the majority of existing self-healing materials for such applications are polymer-based, in bulk monolithic or composite form.
