When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors’ individual capacitances. If two or more are connected, the overall effect is that of a ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...

Last month I talked about the problem of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) and the dynamic stabilizer as a solution. The stabilizer was basically an early thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) device that ...

AVX Corp.’s TWA-X Series wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors feature a high-capacitance cathode system that achieves high CV performance in standard case sizes. Designed for use at 230°C, the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitors often are connected in parallel in power electronics to decrease high-frequency ripples, current stress, decrease power ...

Kyocera AVX has expanded its selection of 550/560 Series ultra-broadband capacitors to satisfy better surging cross-market demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth optical communication systems. The ...
