University of Delaware mechanical engineer Bingqing Wei and colleagues have targeted their research to a specific component in electronics called a filter capacitor. Wei explained that alternating ...

The parameter M, which is a function of the filter capacitor and line power, determines the quantitative relationship between total harmonic distortion (THD) and circuit characteristics for a ...

This is a simple means of calculating the required size of the input filter capacitor in a basic power supply, or calculating the peak-to-peak ripple voltage in an existing supply. It works by ...

Converting AC into direct current (DC) is vital for powering electronics. In the process, filter capacitors play a pivotal role in smoothing the voltage ripple in the rectified DC signal ...

Fig. 2 shows some typical high-current feedthrough capacitors; their physical size increases with current rating. High-current feedthrough filters have characteristics different from lower-current ...

The research results were published in Nano-Micro Letters. Filter capacitors are essential for turning fluctuating voltage signals into steady direct current. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors ...

Switched capacitor filters are growingincreasingly popular because they have many advantages over activefilters. Switched capacitor filters don't require externalprecision capacitors like active ...

At the root of these problems are the unforeseen effects of resonance, and both simple capacitor banks and complex harmonic filters can be adversely affected. Source inductance (normally transformer ...
