6.1.2: Capacitance and Capacitors

For large capacitors, the capacitance value and voltage rating are usually printed directly on the case. Some capacitors use "MFD" which stands for "microfarads". While a capacitor color code exists, rather like the resistor color code, it has generally fallen out of favor. For smaller capacitors a numeric code is used that echoes the ...

Capacitor Failure Analysis

The ultimate goal of capacitor failure analysis is to determine the fundamental cause of failure or whether the incorrect operation is due to manufacturing flaws, end-user abuse, or other causes. The first step in capacitor failure analysis is finding where an analyst should start looking for a failure, similar to an integrated circuit.
