Which consequence results when dielectric strength fails in HVDC capacitor?

A)Uncontrolled thermal runaway occurs
B)Capacitance value slightly decreases
C)Increased equivalent series resistance
D)Oscillation frequency becomes slightly damped

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown triggers thermal runaway because increased conductivity and heat generation overwhelm dissipation in Polymer capacitors; therefore the capacitor rapidly degrades, rather than only showing slight capacitance decrease, because positive feedback loops occur.
