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 ...

Where high currents are involved and conventional batteries are deficient, supercapacitors offer savings in size and a unique combination of high-power and high-energy performance parameters. Also ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...

Daniel W. O’Brien has aBSEE from Purdue University and a MS in Management from KrannertGraduate School, Purdue. He has worked the last eight years at NACCand is currently the Director of Engineering ...

I remember debugging a compact PLC power board used in a packaging line. The system worked perfectly on the bench. In the field, it started rebooting every few hours. No obvious faults. No overheating ...
