The electrification trend in the automotive sector shows no signs of abating, and electrolytic capacitors have proved to be a reliable source of high-density power delivery in electric vehicles (EVs).

In the conventional dc-dc converter buck topology (Fig. 1), power from the input voltage source is transferred to the output filter by turning on the pass transistor. When the pass transistor is on, ...

To see a video on this topic by the author, click here. Figure 1 provides a plot of this expression; it is a circle with a maximum of 0.5, at 50% duty factor and two zero crossings at zero and 100% ...

Since the first waterwheel and windmill, people have been “harvesting” energy from one source and applying it to another. Today, the sources of the harvest have exploded to reap extremely tiny amounts ...

Although shunt capacitors offer several advantages at all voltage levels, those advantages come at a price. Not only must you purchase, install, and maintain capacitor equipment, you must be able to ...

Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...

Report Ocean published a new report on the high voltage direct current (HVDC) capacitor market. The study includes an in-depth analysis of regional trends and market growth in North America, Europe, ...

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 ...
