Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

LA JOLLA, CA – Scripps Research, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and several other collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a ...

The DC-link capacitor is a cornerstone of traction inverters under the hood of EVs. These passive components are used to smooth out and steady DC voltages traveling from the battery into the inverter.

Supercapacitors possess a high cycle efficiency (more than a million cycles), a large number of charging cycles higher than 95%, and a faster discharge time with a longer life. The high value of a ...
