Does impregnation fluid cause power capacitor failure?

The leakage of impregnation fluid causes most power capacitor failures, which is largely resulted from the compatibility problems. In the present study, the compatibility between gasket material and the most widely used impregnation fluid of benzyl toluene (M/DBT) was studied.

How do you impregnate a capacitor element?

The capacitor element is impregnated with electrolyte to saturate the paper separators and penetrate the etch tunnels. The method of impregnation may involve immersion of the elements and application of vacuum-pressure cycles with or without heat or, in the case of small units, just simple absorption.

What type of impregnation fluid is used to test a capacitor?

The capacitor impregnation fluid selected for the test sample is M/DBT, the commercial model of which was Jarylec C101, and the main components were shown in Table 1. Table 1. The main components of M/DBT.

What causes a capacitor to become unusable at 125 oC?

At temperatures above the maximum core temperature and by 125 oC for most types the electrolyte can be driven from capacitor element and the ESR can increase as much as 10 times. By this mechanism, transient over-temperature or over-current can permanently increase the ESR and make the capacitor unusable.

How does a low-temperature capacitor work?

The low-temperature limit is set largely by the cold resistivity of the electrolyte. The higher cold resistivity increases the capacitor’s ESR 10 to 100 fold and reduces the available capacitance.

What happens if a capacitor is not used for charge-discharge?

Frequent, rapid charge and discharge of aluminum electrolytic capacitors not designed for such service can damage the capacitors by overheating and overpressure or breakdown with consequent failure by open or short circuit. For charge-discharge applications use capacitors designed for that use.
