← ScienceWhich risk increases when a capacitor's dielectric fails within a high-frequency resonant inverter?
A)Uncontrolled overcurrent in switching transistors✓
B)Reduced gate driver signal propagation
C)Increased core saturation transformer losses
D)Decreased inductive load power factor
💡 Explanation
Dielectric breakdown causes a short circuit, resulting in uncontrolled overcurrent, because the capacitor no longer blocks DC. This causes transistor damage due to excessive current rather than affecting gate signals; therefore, choice A is correct.
