Introduction Metallized film capacitors (MFC), usually using polypropylene film (PP film) or polyethylene terephthalate film (PET film) as the medium, are made by winding and laminating, etc., through spraying gold at the ends (metal Zn, Al and a series of alloys) to realize the extraction of high or low voltage electrode of the capacitor , .
The experimental conditions are as follows: Place the metallized film capacitor (capacitance is about 20 μF) in a box-type resistance furnace, and adjust different service temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C) until the capacitor fails, then take out the capacitor.

Self-healing (SH) in metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) can lead to irreversible damage to electrode and dielectric structures, resulting in capacitance loss and significant stability degradation, especially under cumulative SH conditions.
Zn–Al metallized film capacitors in two different production stages were investigated to explain the decrease of capacitors performance with time. Unsealed and sealed capacitors with different aluminium content in metallization layer were investigated.
An attempt was made to connect these to the surface morphology of the polypropylene foil substrate. It can be summarized that this study suggests performance degradation of the investigated Zn–Al metallized film capacitors to be primarily due to the metallized film oxidation.
Onto one or both film surfaces a metallic layer (Zn, Al, Ag, etc.) of a thickness of several tens of nm is deposited. The metallized polymer film is then rolled and sealed into a casing whereby the sealing is supposed to remain tight over the entire lifetime of the capacitor. The capacitors perform well under usual conditions.
