Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

A capacitor is an electrical component that stores an electric charge and is used in filter circuits, since AC signals pass through while DC signals are blocked. Televisions use a large number of ...

Ever wonder what goes on inside of an electrolytic capacitor? Nick Visic from AiSHi Capacitors shows how these popular capacitors work in this tear-down video from DesignCon. The screw terminal ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

As electrolytic capacitors age, their internal resistance, also known as “equivalent series resistance” (ESR), gradually increases. This can eventually lead to equipment failure. Using this design, ...
