A perennial challenge in power-supply design is the safe and speedy discharge, or “dump,” at turn-off of the large amount of energy stored in the postrectification filter capacitors. This energy, CV 2 ...

IEC60335 is the discharge safety standard for all appliances. To protect the user from an electrical hazard, it requires the voltage across the input X capacitor to discharge to less than 34 V within ...

UK based ARCOL Resistors has introduced its RW Discharge Resistor. This wire-wound resistor is designed for quick and easy mounting on to capacitors and is typically used as a discharge or balancing ...

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, ...

RoHS-compliant, the XH311HG coin-type capacitor series exhibits the unique quality of large current discharges ranging across 3.3V to 0V. Measuring 3.8 mm x 1.1 mm, the components are compatible with ...

[Norman] put together a rather impressive 22,500 uF capacitor bank. In addition to find things to torture with the strong magnetic field generated by a sudden discharge, he’d like to measure the ...

The residual voltage of a capacitor, rated not over 600V, shall be reduced to 50V or less within _____ after the capacitor is disconnected from the source of supply. Article 460 covers the ...

Don’t think simple passive components will be trouble-free in your designs. A component as simple as a capacitor can cause you big headaches. I was reminded of this when EDN editor Martin Rowe came ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced CAPZero™-3, the latest ...
