Abstract
Systems and methods for determining an operational condition of a capacitor package are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system may include a capacitor package including a dielectric material operatively connected between a first terminal and a second terminal. The system may include a Zener diode being operatively connected with its cathode at a third terminal and its anode at the second terminal. The system may also include a test pin being conductively connected to the third terminal. The system may also include a testing module configured to receive an electrical output from the test pin. The testing module may also be configured to determine an operational condition of the capacitor package based on the electrical output. The testing module may further be configured to present the operational condition of the capacitor package.
