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.
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.
Metallized film capacitors (MFCs) are reliable because of the self-healing feature and are widely used in the sub-module of the modular multilevel converter (MMC-SM). To reflect the practical working condition of MMC-SM, the self-healing characteristics of MFC in MMC-SM under DC and AC superimposed voltage with harmonics were studied in this paper.
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.
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 , . They showed that
The self-healing breakdown voltages were recorded and analyzed by the Weibull distribution. It was found that the harmonic components have a significant effect on the self-healing characteristics of MFC. As the harmonic component of the applied voltage increases, the self-healing breakdown voltage decreases.

Capacitors made of metallized polypropylene films suffer partial discharges, called self-healing, due to weak electrical defects.

A theory of self-healing (SH) in metallized film capacitors (MFCs) is introduced.
