DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(6) The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

(7) The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for initial self-healing type classification of metallized film capacitors, and as shown in FIG. 1, the method specifically includes: step 1: applying voltages at different voltage ramp rates to metallized film capacitors to be tested, and determining a voltage bearing range of said metallized film capacitors; step 2: determining, according to corresponding voltages of said metallized film capacitors when initial self-healing occurs and residual voltages after the initial self-healing occurs, corresponding initial self-healing energy of metallized film capacitors when the initial self-healing occurs within the voltage bearing range of said metallized film capacitors; step 3: establishing an initial self-healing voltage-energy database according to a corresponding relationship between the corresponding initial self-healing voltages of said metallized film capacitor samples when the initial self-healing occurs and the corresponding initial self-healing energy when the initial self-healing occurs; and step 4: classifying the metallized film capacitors by utilizing the initial self-healing voltage-energy database and combining an initial self-healing recovery condition and subsequent service lives and performance data of said metallized film capacitors.

(8) FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for initial self-healing type classification of metallized film capacitors, wherein this batch of metallized film capacitors have a rated voltage U.sub.nom of 250V and a capacitance of 1 F.

(9) In a specific embodiment, voltages at different voltage ramp rates as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are applied to this batch of metallized film capacitors, and the results show that the initial self-healing voltages of only few capacitors are lower than 500V, and when the initial self-healing voltage is higher than 1250V, the voltage cannot be recovered after the metallized film capacitor is self-healed, and direct breakdown of the capacitor is easy to happen. Therefore, the voltage range within which the initial self-healing of this batch of capacitors occurs is determined to be 5001250V (2U.sub.nom5U.sub.nom).

(10) In a specific embodiment, within the voltage bearing range of the metallized film capacitors determined in the step 1, the corresponding energy when the initial self-healing of the capacitor samples occurs is calculated by using the following electrical formula, and the corresponding parameters when the initial self-healing occurs are schematically shown in FIG. 3A.

(11) $E_{SHI}=\frac{C_x}{2}\left(U_{SHI}^2-U_{RES}^2\right)$ wherein E.sub.SHI is the corresponding energy when the initial self-healing of said metallized film capacitors occurs, in a unit of mJ; C.sub.x is a capacitance of said metallized film capacitors, in a unit of F, and U.sub.SHI is a voltage generated when the initial self-healing occurs, in a unit of V; U.sub.RES is the residual voltage after the initial self-healing occurs, in a unit of V.

(12) As the capacitance of the capacitor changes slightly before and after the initial self-healing, the influence of the capacitance on the calculation of the initial self-healing energy can be ignored.

(13) In a specific embodiment, an initial self-healing voltage-energy database is established according to the corresponding relationship between the initial self-healing voltages and the initial self-healing energy obtained in the step 2, as shown in FIG. 4A.

(14) In a specific embodiment, the established initial self-healing voltage-energy database is subjected to a nonlinear fitting method and it is determined that the initial self-healing voltage and the initial self-healing energy meet the relation of E.sub.SHI=aU.sub.SHI.sup.n n[2,4], where nR,

(15) $a=\frac{{\mathrm{kC}}_0}{{}^{}.Math.f\left(P\right)},$
C.sub.0 is a capacitance, is a square resistance, (P) is an interlayer pressure function, and , k are coefficients, so as to define the boundary range of the initial self-healing voltage-energy database.

(16) In a specific embodiment, an external voltage is applied to the metallized film capacitor, and an initial self-healing voltage boundary is defined, wherein 4U.sub.nom is an upper boundary, and corresponding initial self-healing energy is E.sub.SHI2; 3U.sub.nom is a lower boundary, and corresponding initial self-healing energy is E.sub.SHI1, and if: (1) no self-healing occurs within 2U.sub.nom5U.sub.nom, the metallized film capacitor is an A-level capacitor; (2) the initial self-healing voltage is within 4U.sub.nom5U.sub.nom, the initial self-healing energy is smaller than E.sub.SHI2, and after initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 5U.sub.nom at an original voltage ramp rate, the metallized film capacitor is a B-level capacitor, and otherwise, the metallized film capacitor is a C-level capacitor; in addition to the case that after the initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 5U.sub.nom at the original voltage ramp rate, the voltage can also rise to 5U.sub.nom after independent self-healing occurs for several times, the metallized film capacitor is the B-level capacitor, and otherwise, the metallized film capacitor is the C-level capacitor; (3) the initial self-healing voltage is within 3U.sub.nom4U.sub.nom, the initial self-healing energy is smaller than E.sub.SHI1, and after initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 4U.sub.nom at the original voltage ramp rate, the metallized film capacitor is the C-level capacitor, and otherwise, the metallized film capacitor is a D-level capacitor; in addition to the case that after the initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 4U.sub.nom at the original voltage ramp rate, the voltage can also rise to 4U.sub.nom after independent self-healing occurs for several times, the metallized film capacitor is the C-level capacitor, and otherwise, the metallized film capacitor is the D-level capacitor; (4) the initial self-healing voltage is within 2U.sub.nom3U.sub.nom, and after initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 3U.sub.nom at the original voltage ramp rate, and the metallized film capacitor is the D-level capacitor; in addition to the case that after the initial self-healing recovery, the voltage can rise to 4U.sub.nom at the original voltage ramp rate, the voltage can also rise to 3U.sub.nom after independent self-healing occurs for several times, and the metallized film capacitor is the D-level capacitor; (5) the initial self-healing voltage is within 02U.sub.nom, or the initial self-healing occurs in the above areas, the self-healing voltage cannot be recovered, and the metallized film capacitor is the E-level capacitor along with intensive self-healing.

(17) In a specific embodiment, the initial self-healing voltage-energy database of the metallized film capacitors is divided into five areas as shown in FIG. 4B. As can be seen from the existing metallized film capacitor samples, the capacitors produced in the same batch have the same manufacturing process, but the distribution of the internal electric weak points of the capacitors has randomness, and the severity of each electric weak point is different, so the metallized film capacitors inevitably have poor product performance. By means of observation and comparison of the voltage recovery condition after initial self-healing occurs in each area and the subsequent operating performance of the capacitors, it finds that when the voltage for the initial self-healing of the metallized film capacitors is between 4U.sub.nom5U.sub.nom and 3U.sub.nom4U.sub.nom, if the corresponding initial self-healing energy is greater than E.sub.SHI2 and E.sub.SHI1, respectively, the self-healing process of the capacitors is easy to happen as shown in FIG. 3C. This indicates that the voltage within the operating range exceeds the endurance of the metallized film capacitors, so the capacitor having initial self-healing in the area is lowered by one operating voltage class to ensure the subsequent operating performance. If the initial self-healing condition of said metallized film capacitor is shown in FIG. 3A or 3B, the corresponding area in the database where said metallized film capacitor is located can be determined according to the initial self-healing voltage-energy, and then said metallized film capacitor is classified. If the initial self-healing condition of the metallized film capacitor is shown in FIG. 3D, the capacitor is close to the breakdown point or is already broken down, so the metallized film capacitor can be directly determined as level E.

(18) The service life of the metallized film capacitor is defined based on the number of times of applying voltages. The metallized film capacitors with different levels are selected for testing the service lives of samples with different levels under an applicable voltage. Voltage ramp rates used when said metallized film capacitors are classified are applied to said metallized film capacitors to enable the voltages to rise to a maximum value of each corresponding level range. It is determined that the capacitor fails when a capacitance of the capacitor drops by more than 5% or the capacitor is broken down. Tests show that in this embodiment, the A-level and B-level metallized film capacitors are both used in application scenarios with the voltage lower than 1250V, wherein the service life of the A-level sample is 1400 times, and the service life of the B-level capacitor is 1000 times. The C-level metallized film capacitor is used in an application scenario with the voltage lower than 1000V, the D-level metallized film capacitor is used in an application scenario with the voltage lower than 750V, and the service lives of the C-level capacitor and the D-level capacitor are both 1200 times. The E-level capacitor is a metallized film capacitor which is irreversibly damaged in the classification process or is unsuitable for a working condition exceeding a rated voltage thereof and thus is not used.

(19) In a specific embodiment, provided is a system for initial self-healing type classification of metallized film capacitors, which includes: a voltage range measuring module, configured to apply voltages at different voltage ramp rates to metallized film capacitors to be tested, and determine a voltage bearing range of said metallized film capacitors; an energy measuring module, configured to determine, according to corresponding voltages of said metallized film capacitors when initial self-healing occurs and residual voltages after the initial self-healing occurs, corresponding initial self-healing energy of said metallized film capacitors when the initial self-healing occurs within the voltage bearing range of said metallized film capacitors; a database establishing module, configured to establish an initial self-healing voltage-energy database according to a corresponding relationship between the corresponding initial self-healing voltages of said metallized film capacitor samples when the initial self-healing occurs and the corresponding initial self-healing energy when the initial self-healing occurs; and a classifying module, configured to classify the metallized film capacitors by utilizing the initial self-healing voltage-energy database and combining an initial self-healing recovery condition and subsequent service lives and performance data of said metallized film capacitors.

(20) In conclusion, the method for initial self-healing classification of metallized film capacitors can determine the applicable working condition of the capacitors in a simple and efficient online mode by observing the initial self-healing and the recovery condition of the capacitors, and predict the service lives of the capacitors under the applicable working condition, so as to achieve the purpose of determining whether the metallized film capacitors are safe and reliable in practical application.
