Abstract

See full text

A series section metallized film capacitor in which the metal layers are varied in thickness such that high oxidation areas are thicker than low oxidation areas. In particular, the edge portions bordering a center margin electrode gap have a thickness which is greater than the remaining area of the center margin electrode. The increased thickness at the edge portions reduces the oxidation effect and the associated decrease in capacitance which normally occurs due to the electric potential across the gap. By varying the thickness, the oxidation effect at the edge portions is reduced while the self-healing capabilities at the low oxidation areas is maintained.
