Are self-healing capacitors the same as fail safe system stability?
The so-called self-healing capability is not the same as fail safe system stability. 4. Most internal protective devices can inter-rupt the voltage only within the capacitor. They are not fuses in the classical sense such as cable or device fuses which inter-rupt the voltage upstream from the faulty system component. 5.
Do capacitors need external protective devices?
Particularly with sensitive applications, the internal protective devices of the capacitors must be supplemented by the user with suitable external protective mea-sures. External protective measures are even mandatory when capacitors are used without internal protective devices.
Can a capacitor be stored in a corrosive environment?

Are high voltage capacitors dangerous?
Be extremely careful with any such capacitor. The true dangers of high voltage capacitors is MULTIPLE CAPACITORS. I have seen some people building their own railguns by plugging in over 100x 9v batteries to a capacitor bank of of almost 20 or more can sized capacitors that can operate at 450 volts. That is when things get really dangerous.
