In designs where high voltage (HV) or current is present, it’s necessary to take steps to reduce the potential risk to users. These steps traditionally include insulation, grounding, and the isolation ...

Southern States CapSwitcher is a high-voltage capacitor switching device specifically designed to meet the power quality needs of today's electrical systems. This special purpose SF6 capacitor switch ...

Virtually every type of electronic hardware incorporates capacitors, which are widely used for functions such as bypassing, coupling, filtering, and tunneling electronic circuits. However, to be ...

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 ...

Within the body of a high-voltage multi-layer ceramic capacitor, a gap-type defect is beginning its career of destruction. The defect may be a void within the ceramic dielectric, a crack within the ...

Finding high voltage capacitors can be tricky. Sure, you can buy these capacitors, but they are often expensive and hard to find exactly what you want. [RachelAnne] needed some low-value variable ...

Taking advantage of new developments in the plastic film industry, Leclanche has added a new dimension, or rather has reduced dimensions of its line of high-voltage high-frequency capacitors. In ...
