Which consequence results when internal dielectric breakdown occurs in pulsed-power capacitor banks?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes carbon tracking. This reduces insulation, enabling current leakage via resistive paths known as Conductivity. Therefore, ESR rises because these paths increase energy dissipation; rather than enhance performance with higher capacitance or breakdown voltage.
