To use the capacitor properly! We will introduce examples of failure phenomena, causes, and countermeasures.

AICTech's capacitors apply strict quality control and safety standards in the design and manufacturing of their products. However, with current technology levels, it is difficult to achieve zero failures in capacitors. When a failure occurs, the capacitor loses its basic functions of storing charge in direct current and eliminating noise and ripple current. In the worst case, there is a risk of ignition leading to a fire. If you notice conditions such as "cracks in the case" or "smoke coming out," it indicates a failure, and you must immediately disconnect the power and take appropriate action. The related catalog explains the phenomena and causes of failures, as well as examples of countermeasures, to help you use capacitors properly. Please take a moment to read it. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
