What Are the Failure Mechanisms Characteristics and Preventive Measures of Power Capacitors?
1 Failure Mechanisms of Power CapacitorsA power capacitor primarily consists of a housing, capacitor core, insulating medium, and terminal structure. The housing is typically made of thin steel or stainless steel, with bushings welded to the cover. The capacitor core is wound from polypropylene film and aluminum foil (electrodes), and the interior of the housing is filled with liquid dielectric for insulation and heat dissipation.As a fully sealed device, common failure types of power capacitors
