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 ...

Murata has managed to compress 4.3μF into a three-terminal 0402 (1005 metric) package, and qualified it for automotive use. This is the surface-mount equivalent of a feed-through capacitor, with the ...

A modified electrode structure improves high-frequency filtering performance in the FNM18PS size 0603 surface-mount (SMT) ceramic three-terminal capacitor. It does so by providing 50 to 70 dB of ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

AVX Corporation has launched the new FRC Series medium power DC-link film capacitors, which feature a wide range of capacitance and voltage values in addition to self-healing properties. AVX Corp. has ...

The inverters and charging systems in hybrid or fully electric vehicles provide a topical example of a high-voltage application that faces extreme space constraints. When multilayer ceramic capacitors ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...
