The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

In today's world of increasing electrical noise, higher-speed logic, and more-sensitive circuits, the need for high-frequency noise filtering is especially critical. Noise can enter a circuit through ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor equivalent circuit ...

A research team led by Prof. MENG Guowen and Prof. HAN Fangming from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Prof. WEI Bingqing from the University ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

As you will probably already know if you are engaged in electronics design at some level, a capacitor is a passive device ...
