IEC60335 is the discharge safety standard for all appliances. To protect the user from an electrical hazard, it requires the voltage across the input X capacitor to discharge to less than 34 V within ...

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 ...

CAPZero is an IC that completely eliminates the power dissipated by X capacitor discharge resistors. CAPZero is a two terminal device that can be added to any power supply with x capacitor discharge ...

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 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 ...

UK based ARCOL Resistors has introduced its RW Discharge Resistor. This wire-wound resistor is designed for quick and easy mounting on to capacitors and is typically used as a discharge or balancing ...

DC testing of solid dielectric cable is largely ineffective, highly discouraged, and discontinued by most. The preferred method is to use AC voltage to test cables, and for long cable runs, a Very Low ...

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 ...

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 ...
