ABSTRACT:
A capacitor bank leak sensor apparatus for preventing damage or failure of the capacitor bank of the type which includes a plurality or array of spaced apart dielectric liquid filled capacitors positioned within a housing. The failure prediction/prevention apparatus includes a collecting tray or trough positioned within the housing and below the capacitors which is adapted in size and shape to catch and collect all dielectric liquid which leaks from any of the capacitors. All leaked liquid dielectric is drained into a container of a sensor device which activates viewable and/or audible indicia when a predetermined quantity of dielectric liquid has been collected in the container, the predetermined quantity preferably being less than that which would likely result in failure of one of the leaking capacitors.
