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 ...
Understand how capacitors charge and discharge with this simple, visual explanation. Learn the key concepts of capacitor behavior, voltage, and current over time, making it easy to grasp fundamental ...
Power Integrations successfully meet the IEC 62368 standard on its CAPZero™ family of innovative, two-terminal, automatic X-capacitor discharge ICs. The IEC 62368 is the new over-arching safety ...
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 residual voltage of a capacitor, rated not over 600V, shall be reduced to 50V or less within _____ after the capacitor is disconnected from the source of supply. Article 460 covers the ...
DC testing of solid dielectric cable is largely ineffective, highly discouraged, and discontinued by most. The preferred method is to use AC voltage to test cables, and for long cable runs, a Very Low ...
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 ...
Power Integrations is aiming at larger home appliances needing to meet IEC60335 with an X-capacitor discharger that can empty 6µF in under a second. X-capacitors are part of the EMC input filter of ...
If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and ...
