Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the basics.

Employing a dry technology, the company's power capacitor operates in the link circuits of high voltage DC transmission systems. The components offer a typical capacitance range from 4,000 to ...

In a switch-snubbing circuit, the capacitor is placed in series with a resistor/diode combination and connected across the power switch—typically an IGBT or MOSFET—to control dV/dt (Fig. 2).

I’ve used hybrid capacitor and NiMH capacitors in the past from Varta. Charging characteristics of a capacitor but can sustain voltage like a battery. Measured in farads such as 90F 4.2V.

In their quest for a more power-efficient future, researchers at Tohoku University have effectively boosted the capacity, lifespan durability, and cost-effectiveness of a capacitor, according to a ...
