Abstract

This work framed in an accredited research project, the objective was to determine the main causes of faults in switching sources. In 83% of the cases analyzed, the empirical results indicated that the failures were due to the stress that the capacitors used as filters. The data was obtained from a follow-up of electronic maintenance services, both predictive, preventive and repair for out of service, this was compared with the information in the data sheets of the capacitor manufacturers, relating them to their service conditions by means of simulation. The information obtained allowed to establish the useful life of the capacitors in the switched sources, according to their service conditions and the requirement to which they are subjected. It was concluded that the determination of the useful life of the capacitor in the face of stress, allows providing data for an adequate process of manufacturing and using products, a correct choice of them according to their destination and also provides the necessary data for the implementation of adequate predictive and corrective maintenance protocols in electronic equipment.
