Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

EPCOS has developed a new type of ceramic capacitor to minimize the risk of short circuits if the capacitor is damaged. The product is suitable for applications in which the capacitor is permanently ...

Capacitors are small components with a big job—storing and releasing energy in electronic circuits. This video explains how ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical dimensions, ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in amps) provide great benefits to the designer, when compared with discrete semiconductors. But all too often, some very basic ...

Article 460 of the NEC provides the requirements for installing capacitors on electrical circuits [460.1]. It does not address surge capacitors or capacitors included ...

Q. What is the minimum ampacity and minimum size conductor required for a circuit that connects a capacitor to the terminals of a 25 hp, 460VAC, 3-phase, air conditioner induction motor? The rated ...

In some power-supply applications, the pulse-width-modulator (PWM) controller is powered up from an auxiliary winding tapped off the power stages transformer (Fig. 1). This technique reduces power ...
