6 FAQs about [Film capacitor loss variation]

Can a stacked film capacitor cause a loss of capacitance?

Since, in principle, a stacked-film capac-itor comprises a large number of independent capacitors in parallel, any contact weakness occur-ring can only affect individual capacitor elements, not extending to neighboring ones, and thus limiting damage to a minor loss of capacitance. Refer to chapter "EMI suppression capacitors" of this data book.

What is metallized film capacitor (MFC)?

Metallized film capacitor (MFC) is one of the stand-out components in terms of failure rate in power electronic converters. However, the influence of harmonics and degradation process on MFC are not well described by the conventional lifetime prediction method, causing a large gap between prediction result and engineering practice.

Why do metallized film capacitors fail?

Most of the metallized film capacitors fail because the capacitance drops below the required tolerance. This normally occurs after the expected lifetime given by the manufacturer. The capacitance drop is generally accompanied by an increase of the loss factor.

How does humidity affect the capacitance of a plastic film capacitor?

The capacitance of a plastic film capacitor will undergo a reversible change of value in relation to any change in the ambient humidity. Depending on the type of capacitor design, both the dielec-tric and the effective air gap between the films will react to changes in the ambient humidity, which will thus affect the measured capacitance.

How do you calculate the life of a film capacitor?

For the life of a film capacitor, the Mean Time To Failure(MTTF), which is calculated by the inverse of the failure rate, is used as the basis for the life calculation. If a capacitor is used at high temperatures, its service life will be shortened due to thermal deterioration.
