Question

Why do capacitors burn out?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a dielectric between the electrodes of the capacitor. If the applied to the capacitor voltage is higher than the dielectric breakdown voltage then the capacitor burns. The capacitor has a voltage limit. Bad, mechanically or chemically damaged dielectric or temperature also may cause the capacitor to burn.
