🔍 Key Concepts

• Capacitor failure indicators such as discoloration, bulging, or leakage • Why overheating in electrical components is a serious safety concern • Standard maintenance practice when a component shows heat damage

💭 Think About

• If a capacitor has already been discolored by heat, what does that suggest about its internal condition and reliability? • Which option actually removes the risk of future failure or fire, rather than just treating the symptom? • Would a heat‑damaged capacitor still be considered trustworthy in a critical marine electrical system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that heat damage usually means internal degradation, not just surface appearance • Consider which actions are temporary vs permanent solutions to the problem • Ask: In a marine safety context, what is the most conservative and safety‑oriented treatment of damaged electrical parts?
