Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. The previous FET circuits pertained to voltage-controlled signal amplitude circuits. That is, the input signal’s amplitude can be changed at the output ...

HDE's VarCom 2600 Communicating Capacitor Controls provide remote control from central Volt-VAR, CVR, DMS or SCADA systems and can control capacitor banks using combinations of ambient temperature, ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).
