In this paper, we conducted experiments with similar tpyes of starting capacitors identified in the fire site. We tested heat from starting capacitors energized continuously with working voltage and it was observed that starting capacitors could be exploded. We confirmed experimentally that old and degraded starting capacitors could be ignited if energized continuously. Also we confirmed that it could be identified by observing appearance of starting capacitors' debris whether starting capacitors were exploded by internal electrical energy or external flames.
