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 ...

Seaward has introduced the first instrument of its type for the safe discharge of stored energy in large capacitors and electrically charged equipment. The portable new SD300 is a highly innovative, ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...
