One of the most noticeable effects of these stresses is the phenomena of capacitance variation. Now, the fact that the capacitance does vary will come as no surprise to most design engineers.
Why Capacitance Changes & Capacitance Variation In our circuit applications, the capacitor can be and is subjected to various electrical, mechanical, and environmental stresses. One of the most noticeable effects of these stresses is the phenomena of capacitance variation.
These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is therefore the essential cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions. The physical consequences are: increase of ESR and decrease of C. These two parameters are therefore essential both to measure the health of capacitors, but also to build aging models.
We see, then, that the major factor involved in why the capacitance changes is the fact that K does vary. In order to clearly understand the various factors that cause K to change, and to what extent these changes take place for the common dielectrics, the following clarification is of interest.
Such failures can be avoided with preventive maintenance action such as replacing the capacitor. For film capacitors, the typical failure mode is capacitance decrease due to self-healing, so it is possible to diagnose the life expectancy by understanding the capacitance change.
Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.
