Which risk increases when a dielectric-filled capacitor endures sustained overvoltage?

💡 Explanation

Sustained overvoltage causes dielectric polarization beyond its design limit; this induces dielectric breakdown because the electric field exceeds material strength. Therefore catastrophic failure occurs rather than gradual degradation, where breakdown voltage thresholds were not superseded.
