This white paper discusses large DC aluminum electrolytic and AC polymeric film capacitors for use in a UPS application: specifically field aging, failure modes, expected service life and preventative maintenance.
The procedure includes identifying the equipment, performing a general cleaning, checking the electrical connections, checking the condition of the components, and testing operation before putting them back into service. The objective is to identify possible faults and ensure that the capacitor banks are working correctly.
There are many studies on the failure modes of electrolytic capacitors, and mainly aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Indeed, from the understanding of the mechanisms and failure modes of a capacitor, it is possible to apply a maintenance in order to know the remaining lifetime of the component.

It has been seen that normal use leads to the evaporation of the electrolyte and the repair of the oxide layer. These are two causes of electrolyte disappearance, which is therefore the essential cause of capacitor degradation under normal conditions. The physical consequences are: increase of ESR and decrease of C.
There is no estimated time frame for cleaning, it depends on the amount of dirt that is inside the capacitor bank. Inspect the cables and terminals. They should not be overheated or blackened. The terminals must be clean. The slow discharge resistors must be in good condition. They must not be open or show signs of burning.

Capacitors become over-loaded with over-voltages and long duration of over-voltages may reduce their life. The permissible over-voltages and their safe duration as in IEC 60831-1 for LV and IEC 60871-1 for HV capacitor units are indicated in Table 26.1. An over-voltage factor of up to 10% can be considered on account of this.
