Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...

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 ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

HDW Electronics' SWG series surge generators are designed with switchable, multi-stage surge capacitors and three voltage ranges. This design offers an advantage over single-stage capacitor units by ...
