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

Great Scott! A team of physicists just figured out how to make a flux capacitor. No, it’s not a real-life version of what was in the “Back to the Future” franchise (reminder: in the movies, the flux ...

One of the most common parts to fail on a single-phase HVAC system is a run capacitor, so much so that we sometimes refer to junior techs as “capacitor changers.” While capacitors may be easy to ...

If you enjoy building radio projects you may have noticed something slightly worrying over the last few years in your component supply. Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as they used to ...

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 ...

This presentation was originally given by Andrew Smith, product manager, LED Lighting at Power Integrations for EDN’s May 2011 live LED event in San Jose. Consumers often see LED lamp failures. If you ...

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

Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...

Seasonal loads, peak load reactive power needs, planned transmission projects and the need to perform maintenance of existing capacitor banks has driven the demand for cost-effective, easy to deploy ...

Bypass capacitors are everywhere in power distribution networks. If you think in the time domain, you may say that bypass capacitors store and supply charge on demand to the loads. If you think ...
