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 ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

A square wave output of a 100 kHz switching regulator is filtered by L1 and C1 such that the current ripple is a sine wave. H1 captures the actual current waveform (probed by ROUT1), and E1 captures ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...
