Thats what my mind images when I forget to charge up the caps.The importance of PRE-CHARGE explained in 12 minutes!
AbsolutelyThe importance of connecting your PV panels with correct polarity. Or the inverter having reverse-polarity clamping diodes.
And paying attention to Voc.
AgreeShorting a capacitor to discharge can also.
I don't see how, if the voltage doesn't exceed the capacitors rating.But lithium battery with no BMS or fuse, and no pre-charge, could potentially do something like this.
We used to put caps like that on guys work benches in the sockets.This was wild
This is what happens when the magic smoke gets out of your inverters !
Agree

Actually, now that I think about it. Shorting a fully charged capacitor shouldn't be a problem either. This is standard practice for making them safe to handle.
Just a question: why do we call it a 30,000 micro-farad capacitor30,000 uf cap.
So, someone made the "Farad" unit too damn big, like trying to measure fractions of an inch using the mile?Because we should call it an 0.030 F capacitor. Or a 30 mF capacitor.
Blame Mr. Farad.So, someone made the "Farad" unit too damn big, like trying to measure fractions of an inch using the mile?
