HOWARD DICKENS ON... SELF HEALING CAPACITORS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many data sheets for metallized film capacitors refer to “self healing”.
This
is an important feature for some applications.  If the dielectric breaks
down
and forms a channel between the electrodes, a short circuit will be
formed.
However because of the very thin metallization (80 A to 300 A) of the
electrodes… continue reading at
