Research on the failure mechanism of film capacitors

Metallized film capacitors consist of alternating layers of polypropylene or other polymeric film dielectric and vapor deposited aluminum conductor. During operation above 250 V ac (RMS), circular islands of oxide develop in the aluminum conducting layers and reduce the capacitance. Increasing the aluminum layer thickness to more than the normal value of …

Why Do Capacitors Fail? Capacitor failure modes and common …

Paper and plastic film capacitors are subject to two classic failure modes: opens or shorts. Included in these categories are intermittent opens, shorts or high resistance shorts. In addition to these failures, capacitors may fail due to capacitance drift, instability with temperature, high dissipation factor or low insulation resistance.
