Self-healing is a process by which the capacitor restores itself in the event of a fault in the dielectric which can happen during high overloads, voltage transients, etc. When insulation breaks down, a short duration arc is formed (figure 1)
Film capacitors with controlled self-healing are the ideal solution to these challenges and can be obtained in various sizes and technical specifications.
