Entropy characterisation of overstressed capacitors for lifetime prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a method to monitor the ageing and damage of capacitors based on their irreversible entropy generation rate. We overstressed several electrolytic capacitors in the range of 33 µF–100 µF and monitored their entropy generation rate View the ...
