Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...

Two important challenges exist when installing power capacitors into high-vibration applications such as LV power correction and harmonic filters in wind power plants, solar panels and inverters, and ...

New passive component architectures can meet the challenging requirements of emerging applications such as advanced driver assistance systems, says Verena Salan, High school physics teaches us that an ...

Vishay’s 104 PHL-ST Capacitors Offer High Capacitance / Voltage Combinations to 680 µF at 450 V and 33 000 µF at 200 V Vishay today announced a new series of screw-terminal power aluminum capacitors ...

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 ...

You should limit thermal dissipation to a maximum of 15°C above ambient, and at no time should it exceed the maximum temperature rating of the capacitor. Film capacitors have been rapidly evolving to ...

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is extending its 299 PHL-4TSI snap-in, four-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor family with new 350 V, 500 ...

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 ...
