Numerical characterization of local electrical breakdown in sub-micrometer metallized film capacitors

In metallized film capacitors, there exists an air gap of about 0.2 μ m between the films, with a pressure ranging generally from 1–30 atm. Because of the created potential difference between the two films, a microdischarge is formed in this gap. In this paper, we use an implicit particle-in-cell Mo...
