Controlled Self-Healing Controlled Self-healing Technology * Soft end of lifetime No short-circuit no avalanche effect * calculable lifetime Capacitance decrease A Critical Advantage! Mosaic segmentation design Gate Capacitor Elements R R Gate Equivalent Circuit

Controlled Self-Healing Basic concept of segmented metallized film: The total capacitance is divided into elementary cells protected by fuse gates (several million). In the event of a weak point, only that cell will be removed by fuse activation. C/C (%) 100h 1000h 10000h Capacitance decreases as a function of cell element fuse activation. -5% t No catastrophic failure (short circuit) results, only a decrease in bulk capacitance. Aging level (Delta cap) is calculable. Total Safety
