Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

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 ...

Troubleshooting single-phase compressors requires a technician to have a proficient understanding of capacitors. The run capacitor is one of two types of capacitors that could be found on single-phase ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of designing and building a new, state-of-the-art 50 kW transmitter site facility for KBRT(AM) in the Los Angeles market. The project was well documented in ...

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 ...

The B3270xP series of ultra-small, MKP film capacitors from TDK are tailored for power-factor-correction stages in power supplies for consumer electronics.
