【description】:if the aluminum electrolytic capacitor explodes, its power can not be underestimated! what causes the explosion of aluminum electrolytic capacitor?
1. the positive and negative electrodes are reversed
2. the temperature is too high
there is electrolyte inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. if the service temperature is higher than the nominal value of the capacitor, the electrolyte will be heated, expanded, and even break the shell of the capacitor and leak out. if the temperature rises too fast in a short time, the electrolyte may open the shell of the electrolytic capacitor in an instant, or even break the whole shell, which is the so-called explosion.
3. the voltage is too high
the temperature of aluminum electrolytic capacitor will change with the temperature of working environment. once the voltage is too large (exceeding its nominal withstand voltage value), excessive ripple current and reverse connection will lead to heating. when the temperature rises very fast, it will explode.
4. electrolyte reduction
with the long-term use, the electrolyte inside the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is continuously reduced or even dried up. these will cause changes in the parameters of aluminum electrolytic capacitor, which will lead to the risk of capacitor explosion. however, we can infer the service life of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor according to its service condition, and then replace it with a new aluminum electrolytic capacitor before the end of its service life.
5. quality problem of capacitor itself
