In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

In the last decade, volt/volt-ampere-reactive (VAR) optimization became one of the most desirable applications implemented on the distribution system. Primary objectives of volt/VAR control include ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...

Although shunt capacitors offer several advantages at all voltage levels, those advantages come at a price. Not only must you purchase, install, and maintain capacitor equipment, you must be able to ...

Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

Embedded silicon capacitors, or ECAPs, aim to solve issues of power integrity from inside the processor’s package.
