electrolytic capacitors will explode if installed backwards. it has to do with their being polarized and when reverse polarized their dielectric is destroyed and the resulting large current flow causes rapid generation of hydrogen gas, bursting the case.

∙ 13y agoThere is no such thing as a "capacitor motor". A capacitor is a device that stores energy and helps or assists a motor to either start or run.
A capacitor can explode from numerous issues. The liquid inside can become overheated and turn into a gas, causing the capacitor to bulge and/or explode. It could also explode from having too high of current being fed into the capacitor.

Advantages of bank capacitor?
Capacitor banks can improve the power factor if the load is leading, which is unusual. Typically in substations capacitor banks are employed to reduce over voltage.
Does capacitor banks produce harmonics?
No, capacitor banks reduce harmonics. They act like a low pass filter. They also raise voltage by compensating for inductance and bringing the power factor back closer to 1. Capacitor banks in the power system can cause transients when randomly closed - many utilities use zero voltage closing equipment, or inductors to counteract this short time harmonic problem.
Control diagrame of a capacitor bank and why you use capacitor banks?
---- Capacitor banks used to improve power factor(lagging) of a circuit:: This is necessary since it causes saving in power and electricity bill in following ways: 1) As p.f rises, circuit currnt decreases and hence I2R losses reduce 2) Var consumption reduces There is no tool provided here to draw the ckt diagram:: U take on PFC(power factor correction bus), then connect switch fuse, then HRC fuse, then Contactor, then overload relay and finally the capacitor bank
Why are capacitors required to be in capacitor banks?
Capacitor banks are used to control the power factor in a power system. By connecting suitable capacitors the power factor can be controlled / maintained at a desired level. The requirement of a capacitor changes as the load changes dynamically. The same amount of capacitors can not maintain the desired power factor all the time. To be able to connect only the required number of capacitors, multiple (bank of capacitors) capacitors are included in a system. An automatic controller senses the actual power factor and connects and disconnects the capacitors from the bank as required
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What will happen if you connect 12volt battery to a 240VOLT capacitor?
If the capacitor is charged then the battery will explode.
What will happen if you changes the polarity of the capacitor in their respective position?
It will either explode right away, or work for a short time then explode. Note though, that the capacitor's polarity only applies to DC voltage. Because AC flows through a capacitor, if there is no DC offset, it matters not which way the capacitor goes.
What happens when a capacitor when it is connected to a higher voltage?
If you apply a higher voltage to a capacitor than it is rated it could over heat and explode.
Are fixed capacitor banks on continuously?
Sure brah
Where is the location of capacitor banks in the sub stations?
They can physically be located almost anywhere. Capacitor banks are typically attached to the bus in substations. Reactors are often tapped off lines.

Why capacitor bank using reeactor?
Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.
Can a 440 volt capacitor be used for a 230 volt application?
No. The capacitor will short out and possibly explode. On the other hand, the 440 Volt Cap can be used in a 220 Volt circuit.
Does capacitor banks produce harmonics?

What is meant by a capacitor's working voltage?
A capacitor's working voltage is the maximum voltage that the device can take without danger of breaking down the insulation between the plates. Above the working voltage, the insulation begins to deteriorate and the capacitor may short, explode, or simply stop working depending on the design of the part.
How Capacitor Banks works in Electrical System?
Capacitors used in delta connections so that they increase the power factor
