We all know that capacitors are necessary to the proper functioning of any HVAC system. Yet, some in the HVAC industry have elected to make capacitor selection decisions based primarily on price.

When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor equivalent circuit ...

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 ...

Japanese manufacturer Murata has unveiled a new monolithic ceramic capacitor that is one-quarter the size of the one mainly used in smartphones. Its new capacitor has a footprint of 0.25 mm x 0.125 mm ...

The Quick-Check Transformer & Capacitor Tester from HD Electric is a versatile tool for quick and easy checks of capacitors, transformers and the connections made to them. In the field, the ...

Low-tension capacitors being installed in irrigation tubewells will help reduce electricity consumption. The capacitors are being installed by the USAID’s power distribution programme (PDP) in ...

Physicists took inspiration from pop-culture icon movie “Back to the Future” to create a real life “flux capacitor,” except it won’t be for time traveling. A team of scientists affiliated with ARC ...

Many improvements in electronic miniaturization and efficiency can be tied to the development of capacitor technology, and minimizing the dielectric layer thickness has been the primary driver for ...

In 2008, Kendall Castor-Perry began an extended investigation into the effect that bypass capacitor selection has on analog circuit performance. Five years on, we’re reposting this classic series, ...
