← ScienceWhich risk increases when a capacitor bank's Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) increases, used in high-frequency inverter circuits?
A)Thermal runaway instability✓
B)Decreased energy storage
C)Increased switching efficiency
D)Lower voltage ripple magnitude
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway instability increases because the increased ESR generates more heat due to Ohmic heating from ripple current; therefore leading to escalating failure rates rather than increased efficiency, because efficiency needs low ESR
