My friend's computer has been acting flakey, especially when he's got a lot of bus-powered USB devices plugged in. I've narrowed the problem down to either the motherboard or power supply. The power ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

The High Voltage Capacitor Market was valued at $1,779.90 million in 2017. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2018 to 2025, it is poised to surge to a staggering $3,307.10 million ...

Common Types of Capacitors and Trade-offs As described in the previous sections, the materials and structure of a capacitor will dictate its attributes, like parasitics, temperature stability, maximum ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

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 ...
