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 ...

There are so many applications for power resistors that they cannot be easily tabulated. Discussed here are a few practical, useful applications that you will find interesting. First an image with ...

Test engineers turn to programmable power supplies when they need to apply power to their device under test (DUT). Sometimes, the DUT has a small amount of stored energy that needs to be removed ...

(click thumbnail)Fig. 1: A gang of high-voltage bleeder resistors.Last issue I encouraged you to inspect and clean transmitter capacitors. Through an inspection with a bright trouble lamp, you can ...

TT electronics Welwyn Components has launched the WPYP range of flameproof wire-wound resistor with terminations designed for direct connection across the stud terminals of a large can electrolytic ...

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 ...
