What Causes Capacitors to Fail?

If You''re Like Most People, You Probably Don''t Think About Capacitors Very Often. But if You''ve Ever Had One Fail on You, You Know It Can Be a Big Problem. There are two main reasons why dissipation factors can cause capacitor failure. First, if the dissipation factor is too high, the capacitor will overheat and eventually catch fire.
