Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...
Tantalum surface-mount capacitors have gained widespread favor for bulk decoupling use in both conventional and switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) since their introduction more than 20 years ago.
