- Term:
Self-Healing
Definition:
The process of self-healing varies by dielectric type.
In general, self-healing occurs when imperfections, flaws, or faults are repaired within the capacitor during normal operation. Once self-healing occurs, the capacitor becomes more robust.
Commonly aluminum, film and polymer capacitors exhibit self-healing capabilities.
