What Causes Capacitors to Fail?

There are two main reasons why dissipation factors can cause capacitor failure. First, if the dissipation factor is too high, the capacitor will overheat and eventually catch fire.Second, if the dissipation factor is too high, the capacitor will lose its ability to hold a charge.This can cause all sorts of problems, including reduced performance and even …
