Which risk increases when a capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) decreases significantly in a high-frequency power converter?

💡 Explanation

A smaller ESR causes less inherent damping of ripple currents, exacerbating any self-heating, and increasing the probability of thermal runaway; because the current is not limited, temperatures rise rapidly, therefore thermal runaway follows rather than EMI or ripple due to inductance.
