Hi All,
I would like to know what makes a polarized capacitor to explode. Too much voltage? Tension in the wrong direction? What is the mechanism behind. I have exploded accidentally one of those capacitors with plastic cover, with 1000 mu farad and 16 V. The voltage I put was 15 V.
thanks in advance
