A magnetic resonance imaging method for peering inside capacitors while they are charging and discharging is allowing researchers to scrutinize the ion dynamics that govern the operation and ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast charging ...

Seaward has introduced the first instrument of its type for the safe discharge of stored energy in large capacitors and electrically charged equipment. The portable new SD300 is a highly innovative, ...

Power factor correction is a very popular and well-established technique for reducing the overall energy consumption of electrical systems including power lines, transformers, motors, and other ...

Daniel W. O’Brien has aBSEE from Purdue University and a MS in Management from KrannertGraduate School, Purdue. He has worked the last eight years at NACCand is currently the Director of Engineering ...

Dive into the physics of RC circuits! Learn how to derive the equations for a discharging capacitor, understanding voltage, current, and time decay. A must-read for anyone studying circuit theory and ...

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 ...

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 ...
