Lifetime investigation and prediction of metallized polypropylene film ...

The capacitor voltage ripples and the circulating currents in the MMC arm are electrically coupled, when the circulating currents are suppressed, the capacitor voltage ripples will be reduced as well [11]. Hence the lifetime of the capacitors will be extended and this is also the case for the failure rates of all the SMs in the same arm [12,13].
