Usually marked onto the body of capacitors in the form of alphanumeric characters are the actual values of capacitance, voltage or tolerance. Although the capacitance value may be printed on the body ...

In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...
