Three major issues to be aware of when using capacitors

As a reactive power compensation and protection component, the position of power capacitors is unshakable. Once there is a problem with the power capacitor, the consequences will be unimaginable. The following are several main issues that should be noted when using power capacitors. I hope it can help companies that are currently using power capacitors.

1. Penetration voltage of capacitors: The voltage on the two plates of capacitors must not exceed a certain limit. If this limit is exceeded, the dielectric will be penetrated and the capacitor will be damaged. This limit voltage is called the penetration voltage.

2. Rated voltage of capacitors: The maximum rated voltage of capacitors during normal operation is lower than the breakdown voltage.

3. Pay attention to the polarity of electrolytic capacitors.

Pay attention to the above three issues, which can avoid many dangerous things. I hope they are helpful to you.
