Often, a large capacitor, such as a 400V 6800uF capacitor in an elevator inverter, is an electrolytic capacitor. Electrolytic capacitors cannot tolerate reverse voltage, so the first place to look is the rectifier diodes supplying DC to the capacitor - they might be shorted, causing AC to go to the capacitor. (The capacitor might also be connected backwards - a very bad thing.)
Another thing to consider is the RMS current rating of the capacitor. They do have limits, and the capacitor might be underdesigned.
Another thing to consider is that the capacitor might have been unused for a long period of time. Electrolytic capacitors need to be periodically "reformed" by charging them and allowing them to slowly discharge. Normally, this is not an issue in a regularly used device, but it can be an issue if the device is idle for more than a month or so.
Last, it could be a random failure, or just a capacitor at end-of-life. Capacitors do fail, just like other electronic devices, and they need to be replaced.

How do you test a capacitor using a multimeter?
A cheap multimeter can be used to test if a capacitor is burnt out. Connect one lead of the capacitor to one lead from a resistor (about 50k ohms). Set the multimeter to a high "ohms" setting and place the test leads on the remaining cap and resistor leads. The display should begin at 50 KOhms and then get higher and higher until it reads infinity/overload. A bad capacitor will either start at infinity/overload or start at 50KOhms and stay there. It won't tell you the ferad rating of the capacitor, but it will give a starting point to troubleshoot.
How do you tell if the compasitor is bad in a ac unit?
To determine if a capacitor in an AC unit is bad, you can visually inspect it for signs of damage, such as bulging, leaking, or corrosion. Additionally, you can test the capacitor with a multimeter set to the capacitance setting; a significantly lower reading than the rated capacitance indicates it may be faulty. If the capacitor is swollen or has a burnt smell, it is likely defective and should be replaced. Always ensure to disconnect power before performing any tests to avoid electrical hazards.

My AC fan don't work could this be the capacitor?
Yes. Or the motor has just burnt out! If there is no burnt smell from the motor's windings and you know the power supply to the fan is good, it is worth replacing the capacitor with an identical one. NOTE: It must not be a polarised electrolytic type, it must be non-polarised and rated at the peak mains supply voltage or higher. Such capacitors are usually sold as "AC Motor Start" or "AC Motor Run" capacitors. For a 120 Volts motor use a capacitor rated to operate at 170 Volts peak. Usually these are manufactured to handle at least 200 Volts Peak AC . For a 240 Volts motor use a capacitor rated to operate at 340 Volts peak. Usually these are manufactured to handle at least 400 Volts Peak AC. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Air conditioning outside but compressor does not start?
If its just the compressor that's not starting then it could be bad contactor bad capacitor burnt or broken wire bad compressor lower than normal line voltage If you are not comfortable testing or working with electricity then don't attempt this on your own
Is burnt a verb?
It depends. It is considered a verb if you "burnt" something. However, if you say, "The rug is burnt," then it is an adjective.
