AI Customer ServiceCapacitors fail due to overvoltage, overcurrent, temperature extremes, moisture ingress, aging, manufacturing defects, and incorrect use, impacting circuit stability and performance.
AI Customer ServiceSuch failures can be avoided with preventive maintenance action such as replacing the capacitor. For film capacitors, the typical failure mode is capacitance decrease due to self-healing, so it is possible to diagnose the life expectancy by understanding the capacitance change.
In addition to these failures, capacitors may fail due to capacitance drift, instability with temperature, high dissipation factor or low insulation resistance. Failures can be the result of electrical, mechanical, or environmental overstress, "wear-out" due to dielectric degradation during operation, or manufacturing defects.
In the case of film capacitors, when a local short circuit failure occurs, the shorted area may temporarily self-heal. An open mode failure in a capacitor can have undesirable effects on electronic equipment and components on the circuit.
The dielectric in the capacitor is subjected to the full potential to which the device is charged and, due to small capacitor physical sizes, high electrical stresses are common. Dielectric breakdowns may develop after many hours of satisfactory operation. There are numerous causes which could be associated with operational failures.
The failure mode of electrolytic capacitors is relatively slow and manifests over periods of months rather than seconds which can be the case with short circuit capacitor failure modes. Therefore condition monitoring may be practical and useful for these components.
Generally, a capacitor is considered to have failed when its capacitance drops by 3% or more compared to its initial value. The probability that a failure will occur is called 'failure rate'. There are two types of failure rates: average failure rate and hazard rate (instantaneous failure rate).
