Abstract
A self-healing metallized film capacitor has a dielectric sheet metallized with a metal or alloy so chosen to provide the desired sheet resistivity for a given metallization thickness. The invention applies to any metallized film capacitor in which electrode metallization thickness and clearability are important considerations.
Claims4
A process for making a self-healing metallized film capacitor comprising:
- selecting a thickness of metallization to be applied to a film for termination of the capacitor;
- selecting a sheet resistivity for said metallization for self-healing of the capacitor;
- computing a bulk resistivity for said metallization from said thickness and said sheet resistivity;
- selecting a material for said metallization having said computed bulk resistivity;
- and
- metallizing said film with said material.
