You don't check. To choose the capacitor, you go to the manufacturer data sheets of the capacitors, which will have the specifications you need to help you choose. You buy from a reputable distributor, and specify the capacitor you want. That way, counterfeits and substitutions are less likely.
The initial calibration stage is used to calibrate the initial ESR and the capacitance values at the first-time start of the converter. The second stage estimates the capacitor current based on the relationship between the input and output currents and the switching states of the converter.
I am familiar with the process of checking a single capacitor for a short or open circuit by charging/discharging the capacitor with a digital meter and watching the resistance values to determine the integrity of the capacitor. Is the same principal of testing used for 3-phase capacitor units.
This test is only applicable when the internal capacitor elements of a unit are separated from its housing. This ensures that the insulation provided between the capacitor parts and the metal enclosure can tolerate overvoltage. The test voltage is applied across the casing and the bushing stand for ten seconds.
When individual capacitors reach the end of their useful life, the system can malfunction. In a system with a capacitor bank, the time it takes for multiple capacitors to fail can vary. As soon as one of them fails, the other capacitor can withstand the increased load and accelerate its deterioration.
In the future, it is expected that the use of data-based methods will become increasingly prevalent in the field of condition monitoring for capacitors used in power converters. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
