KYOCERA AVX expanded its selection of 550/560 Series ultra-broadband capacitors to better satisfy surging demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth optical communication systems in a steadily growing ...

The DRAM cache trap—why a simple power outage can instantly corrupt your consumer SSD ...

Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

If you search through an electrical engineering textbook, you probably aren’t going to find the phrase “gimmick capacitor” but every old ham radio operator knows about them. They come in handy when ...

X2 safety capacitors handle higher voltages and control noise in industrial drives, EV charging systems, energy meters, & other power systems.

Researchers create polymer capacitor surviving 482°F temperatures while delivering four times the energy density of current ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

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 ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

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 ...
