The coupling capacitors are biased by high value resistors, generally tied to the transformer center-tap connection, as shown in Figure 2. As a bonus, if the DC current of the biasing resistors is monitored, then any dielectric breakdown becomes a detectable fault.
Capacitors, like batteries, need time to charge and discharge. When used as decoupling capacitors, they oppose quick changes of voltage. If the input voltage suddenly drops, the capacitor provides the energy to keep the voltage stable. Similarly, if there is a voltage spike, the capacitor absorbs the excess energy.
