Capacitor banks protection, cautions and maintenance tips
Nowadays, modern capacitors use a "self-healing, safety disconnect" technology, in which the integrity of the capacitor dielectric is maintained very effectively. Under minor fault conditions, gases are released within the capacitor element to effectively weld and close any hole caused by the dielectric fault.
