AI Customer ServiceI just found out that some capacitors hardly leak whereas other types of capacitors leak a lot of current through the dielectric. I’ve looked at Wikipedia and found several links (Leakage and Capacitor plague) which does not really described the current leakage (to the best of my understanding).
So, to get back to your question: even though it may seem like it, by far the most important reason that electrolytic capacitors seem to leak more is that they simply have more capacitance and, by association, larger surface areas and thinner insulators which both contribute to higher leakage.
Capacitors can have current leak through their dielectric. They can leak electromagnetic fields to their surroundings. They can also leak energy as a result of heating due to friction in the dielectric. @David I didn't know that there were so many types of leak. I was thinking of current leaks through their dielectric.
Using the formula I = 377VC, find the leakage current I (in amps) by multiplying the voltage that your hipot test is conducted at (V) by the capacitance you measured between line and ground (C), and multiplying that product by 377. This will give you the anticipated leakage current I (in amps). What is meant by leaky capacitor?
The resistance of the dielectric of the capacitor is called leakage resistance. The dielectric in an ideal capacitor is a perfect insulator (i.e., it has infinite resistance) and zero current flows through it when a voltage is applied across its terminals. How can leakage current be prevented?
Capacitors fail when the electrolyte dries out, or when the gas inside them builds up to a point that it opens a safety valve and the electrolyte leaks out. A good capacitor takes decades to dry out, but a cheap capacitor can leak within a few short years. How do you solve capacitor problems in physics? How is leakage capacitance calculated?
