The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

A perennial challenge in power-supply design is the safe and speedy discharge, or “dump,” at turn-off of the large amount of energy stored in the postrectification filter capacitors. This energy, CV 2 ...

We tend to focus on charge storage in terms of the batteries that power our electronic devices and, increasingly, our cars. But charge storage devices now make an appearance on scales ranging from ...

UK based ARCOL Resistors has introduced its RW Discharge Resistor. This wire-wound resistor is designed for quick and easy mounting on to capacitors and is typically used as a discharge or balancing ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced CAPZero™-3, the latest ...

The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...
