This article explains some basic parameters of capacitors – insulation resistance, DCL leakage current and breakdown voltage / withstanding voltage. Important feature of capacitor apart its capacitance is: its ability to keep the charge for some time without self-discharging due to its internal leakage (conductivity) mechanisms.
The various parameters that affect the breakdown voltage of the capacitor are humidity, pressure and temperature . The dielectric materials commonly used are paper, glass, ceramic, mica, plastic film, and oxide layers.
