Power Integrations rolled out the next generation of its CAPZero line of innovative, two-terminal, X capacitor discharge ICs, the CAPZero™-2 ICs. These devices increase design flexibility by covering ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...

Power Integrations is aiming at larger home appliances needing to meet IEC60335 with an X-capacitor discharger that can empty 6µF in under a second. X-capacitors are part of the EMC input filter of ...

We tend to focus on charge storage in terms of the batteries that power our electronic devices and, increasingly, our cars. But charge storage devices now make an appearance on scales ranging from ...

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and ...
