Assertion: capacitor's failure mode | /r/CapableOf | tend toward short circuit
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: Ceramic failure mode also tends toward short circuit, whereas metallised paper and film types tend towards open circuit.
text: Y capacitors may have a wide range of capacitance values, between 0.001µF and 1µF. Metallized paper and film capacitors are preferred over ceramic capacitors for Y capacitor applications due to their stability, higher capacitance values and self healing properties, as well as the fact that the failure mode of metallized capacitors tends toward open circuit, while the failure mode of ceramic capacitors tends towards short circuit, which is potentially more dangerous to users.
