Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

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 ...

All life depends upon energy from the sun to exist. Directly or indirectly, the sun is the source of all energy on our planet in the form of fire, water, and wind. Because of the Industrial Revolution ...

Combining the unique strengths of lithium batteries with crazy-fast charging, carbon ultra-capacitors could save a ton of weight and add significant range and power to electric vehicles, according to ...

Vintage equipment relies on many components to run properly, Chuck Gloman writes. Let’s focus today on what capacitors do in ...

Hybrid "power capacitors" that can store as much energy as lithium batteries, but with much higher charge/discharge rates, a huge range of safe operating temperatures, super-long lifespans and no risk ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

What causes the degradation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in power-supply designs? What is ripple current and how can it influence capacitors in power-conversion circuits? Step-by-step ...

Awhile back I was speaking to my uncle who worked at IBM fixing power supplies that they created for pcs. I asked him how dangerous it was to put your hands inside the power supply after he tests it ...

The smart grid uses gathered information and data to help improve efficiency, reliability and distribution of electricity to utility customers. As Georgia Power neared the completion of its advanced ...
