There are many different types of capacitors available today. Most capacitors produced are designed for mounting on circuit boards or other electronic equipment and are referred to as tantalum,...

This is the first time that energy discharge capacitor technology capable of graceful aging has been demonstrated at these energy levels. When a capacitor is selected to perform properly in an...

Important developments of IGBT's (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) in recent years have been focused on increasing power handling capability and increasing reliability including short circuit...

This technical paper discusses the larger motor-run capacitors (330 VAC to 440 VAC and 20 to 50 µF) for 1/4- to 1-Hp motors. It covers some of the evolving liquid-filled polymeric film capacitor...

A new dielectric film has been developed that greatly increases the energy density capability of plastic film capacitors. This film has been developed over the past four years by a consortium...

The use of capacitors has long been accepted as the most practical solution to the low power factor problem in power systems. The modern capacitor is a reliable, maintenance free cheap source of...

Over the past few years, Aerovox has been replacing foil electrode construction with metallized electrode construction in a variety of high energy density pulsed power capacitors. These capacitors are...
