In the case of metallized films, this may lead to electrode corrosion when the capacitors are submitted to environmental conditions of high humidity. The electric-field stess in metallized film capacitors may be much larger than in film foil capacitors. This is obtained thanks to the ability of the electrodes to self-heal.
As the corrosion will affect the thickness by reducing the metallization itself, the distance between the electrodes d will slightly increase. However, this can be neglected as in metallized film capacitors, the thickness of the dielectric (~ μm) is about 1000 times greater than the thickness of the metallization (~ nm).
Metallized polypropylene film capacitors are known to be one of the most common causes of failure in electronic systems. Predicting their lifetime to anticipate failures is a key issue in the assessment of these systems' reliability. In this paper, accelerated ageing tests applying voltage, temperature and humidity were conducted on 42 capacitors.
They model only a part of the phenomena and should be extended. The results of accelerated ageing tests under temperature, humidity and voltage identify the corrosion as the main failure mechanism. Therefore, based on the data collected, this paper proposes an alternative law to model the capacitance degradation caused by corrosion.
The electric-field stess in metallized film capacitors may be much larger than in film foil capacitors. This is obtained thanks to the ability of the electrodes to self-heal. If a breakdown occurs in the polymer, the current will increase through the defect and on the electrode near the defect.
The corrosion is due to the oxidation of the capacitor electrodes mainly composed of aluminium and zinc according to the chemical reactions below (Eqs. (1), (2), (3), (4)) [10, 11]: (1) (2) (3) (4) The AC voltage reinforces the phenomenon by enhancing the electrolysis, in particular the water electrolysis (Eqs. (5), (6)). (5) (6)
