In the end application of the finished capacitors, the self-healing mechanism is meant to provide a safeguard against permanent shorting. Shorts in the end application typically are the result of operating conditions not accounted for in the design of the units or by misapplication, provided the proper manufacturing steps as described above are used. For example, high voltage transients …
