FAQ0015 What happens if an overvoltage exceeding the rated voltage is applied to the product?

Answer

The failure mode caused by overvoltage differs as below according to applied voltage, ambient temperature and applied frequency etc.
1. The capacitance of the capacitor decreases.
2. Electrolyte leakage due to activated pressure relief.
3. Short or open mode due to capacitor breakdown.
