A smart capacitor (50) includes a main capacitor (30) having at least one intelligence mechanism (40,42,44) selected from a prognostics mechanism and a high speed protection mechanism integrated within the main capacitor (30). The at least one intelligence mechanism (40,42,44) and the main capacitor (30) are together configured to generate at least one type of output signal selected from long term induced failure mechanism signals and sudden capacitor failure condition signals in response to desired input signals.
