Mechanisms and failure modes according to the stress in an electrolytic capacitor. A normal use of the capacitor leads to the evaporation of the electrolyte and the repair of the oxide layer. These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is the main cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions.
This document provides standard requirements and general guidelines for the design, performance, testing and application of low-voltage dry-type alternating current (AC) power capacitors rated 1,000V or lower, and for connection to low-voltage distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
It has been seen that normal use leads to the evaporation of the electrolyte and the repair of the oxide layer. These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is therefore the essential cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions. The physical consequences are: increase of ESR and decrease of C.
The most commonly used model for electrolytic capacitors is based on Arrhenius' law, which describes the influence of the constraints related to the ambient temperature and the current flowing through the capacitors, and on the Coffin-Manson empirical law for the consideration of the applied voltage.
A life model employing core temperature estimation derived from ESR deterioration and operating conditions is shown. As seen previously, the voltage can influence the aging of the capacitors by applying a voltage overstress in order to subject the capacitor to continuous charge and discharge cycles.
