Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to estimate the impedance curve of the DC-link capacitor, and a multi-fitting algorithm allowed us to determine the ESR and C parameters. A comparison between the estimated values C and ESR and the nominal values was used to quantify the fault severity.
Underlying Issues: This overheating can be due to internal failure within the capacitor or external factors such as a malfunctioning component in the circuit. It’s a sign that the capacitor has been operating under stress and may have already failed or is close to failing.
