A significant increase in the efficiency of modern metallized filmcapacitors has been achieved by the application of special segmented nanometer-thick electrodes. The proper design of the electrode segmentation guarantees the best efficiency of the capacitor's self-healing (SH) ability.
Since the metallized film capacitor is a winding structure, the interlayer pressure has a certain influence on the self-healing characteristics of the metallized dielectric films. Chen pointed out that the capacitance loss of the winding MFC mainly occurs in the outer layer, and the pressure range in this area is <0.23 MPa .
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.

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.
Self-healing process Metallized film capacitor is a kind of typical passive electronic components, and its construction is shown in Fig. 1 (a). It consists of two dielectric films on which zinc, aluminum or zinc‑aluminum alloy of <100 nm thick have been deposited. The metallized films are then rolled together around the mandrel.
On Segmented Film Technology Capacitors, the self healing effect is more controlled. The film metalization is made by forming a pattern of segments, which are connected to each other by micro fuses. This limits the healing current and limits the self-healing effect to a well defined section of the film.

Self-healing is the spontaneous extinction of a local electrical arc due to the destruction of the electrodes during the process. It occurs in capacitors made of metallized films of plastics with a thin layer of metal (the layer thickness e is ∼10 nm).This phenomenon was first studied by Heywang and Kammermaier [1], [2].They showed that

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. From experimental results, we have elaborated a model of the self-healing ...

Self-healing, also known as clearing, is the removal of a defect caused by pinholes, film flaws or external voltage transients. The heat generated by the arcing during a breakdown, evaporates the extremely thin metalization of the film around the point of failure, thereby removing and isolating the short circuit conditions.
A theory of self-healing (SH) in metallized film capacitors (MFCs) is introduced. The interruption of the filamentary breakdown (BD) current in the thin dielectric insulation occurs when the thermally driven increase of the series impedance in the electrode metallization destabilizes the BD plasma arc. The interruption process can be described as a switching …

When self-healing happens in segment metallized film capacitor, the current flow through the breakdown point is relatively small and the range of the duration of self-healing is from less than one microsecond to tens of microseconds. Under this circumstance, the fuse should not burn out. However, when self-healing failure happens, large short-circuit current with long …

Metallized film capacitors have "self-healing" properties, which are not available from film/foil configurations. [11] When sufficient voltage is applied, a point-defect short-circuit between the metallized electrodes vaporizes due to high arc temperature, since both the dielectric plastic material at the breakdown point and the metallized electrodes around the breakdown point are …
Film capacitors are used extensively in power line EMI filters, not so much for their ripple current ratings but for their self-healing property with the voltage transients that occur (Figure 8).
