Voltage Rating of a Capacitor The maximum voltage that may be safely applied to a capacitor is usually expressed in terms of its d.c. working voltage. The maximum d.c. voltage that can be applied to a capacitor without breakdown of its dielectric is called voltage rating of the capacitor If the voltage rating of a capacitor is exceeded, the dielectric may break down and conduct current, causing permanent damage to the capacitor. Both capacitance and voltage rating must be taken into consideration before a capacitor is used in a circuit application. | |
