transient
After a circuit that I built failed, I took a few capacitors to test and found out that some of them breakdown before they reach the rated breakdown voltage. I also found out that the current is bigger than I expected. From data sheet : 10nF capacitor @ 100V rating. Some of them broke at 96ish V and some after 100 V (not exactly at 100 V).
Analysis of high voltage shunt capacitor bank over-voltage breakdown …
The traditional over-voltage breakdown detection method ignores the suppression of the inrush current of over-voltage breakdown, resulting in low over-voltage signal detection accuracy and a large detection deviation. As a result, a method is proposed for detecting and analyzing the ageing over-voltage breakdown of high voltage shunt …
Breakdown field in a capacitor
But if the capacitor is not a parallel plate capacitor all bets are off. If one surface of the capacitor has a sharp point then the field will be stronger there. If the breakdown field is exceeded around the tip but not all the way to the other electrode then this can cause local breakdown at the tip but not elsewhere.
6.1.2: Capacitance and Capacitors
The breakdown strength of the dielectric will set an upper limit on how large of a voltage may be placed across a capacitor before it is damaged. Breakdown strength is measured in volts per unit distance, thus, the closer the plates, the less voltage the capacitor can withstand. For example, halving the plate distance doubles the …

0 parallelplate Q A C |V| d ε == ∆ (5.2.4) Note that C depends only on the geometric factors A and d.The capacitance C increases linearly with the area A since for a given potential difference ∆V, a bigger plate can hold more charge. On the other hand, C is inversely proportional to d, the distance of separation because the smaller the value of d, the …
