Capacitors are meant to hold electrons on one plate (and repel electrons from the other) while NOT passing a current between the plates. If current is allowed to pass between the plates than the capacitor has failed. A capacitor is made up of two isolated plates held apart by a non-conductive material (usually oils). If the oil has been broken down or exposed to a significantly large voltage, electrons will begin to jump the gap between the two plates. At this point the capacitor has failed.
A cheap multimeter can be used to test if a capacitor is burnt out. Connect one lead of the capacitor to one lead from a resistor (about 50k ohms). Set the multimeter to a high ohms setting and place the test leads on the remaining cap and resistor leads.ou can test a capacitor using a multimeter and two leads by placing the multimeter in ohms mode. It works best with a needle type meter, not a digital meter. Connect the lead â¦ s to the capacitor and you will notice that the resistance pulses down, and then settles out at infinity.
