There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

The residual voltage of a capacitor, rated not over 600V, shall be reduced to 50V or less within _____ after the capacitor is disconnected from the source of supply. Article 460 covers the ...

Power Integrations successfully meet the IEC 62368 standard on its CAPZero™ family of innovative, two-terminal, automatic X-capacitor discharge ICs. The IEC 62368 is the new over-arching safety ...

Power Integrations' CAPZero automatic X-capacitor discharge IC is now certified to meet IEC CTL DSH 1080, the new mandatory addition to the Certification Body (CB) scheme of the IEC60950 and IEC60065 ...

Power Integrations is aiming at larger home appliances needing to meet IEC60335 with an X-capacitor discharger that can empty 6µF in under a second. X-capacitors are part of the EMC input filter of ...

With IEC 62368 replacing earlier safety standards for TVs and IT equipment, Power Integrations is certifying its X capacitor discharge ICs to the new standard. X capacitors control conducted emissions ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Pulsed power is a technology that consists in accumulating energy over some period of time, then releasing it very quickly. Since power equals energy (or work) divided by time, the idea is to emit a ...

If you've ever used a modern ignition box to send more spark to your combustion chambers, you're likely familiar with the term capacitor discharge (CD). Pontiac offered a system as an option in the ...
