EPCOS has optimized its discharge resistor modules based on hybrid ceramics to simplify mounting of discharge resistors on PFC capacitors and enhance reliability. The new module is no longer supplied ...

Quickly discharge power-supply capacitors; Model Railway Capacitor Discharge Unit (CDU) A short primer on X- and Y-capacitors in AC power supply; Parasitics and Capacitor Selection: Dielectric ...

CAPZero-3 devices are safety-certified to CB and Nemko requirements and so developers do not need to perform a separate safety test on the X-capacitor discharge circuit of the power supply.

Capacitors are able to charge and discharge more quickly than batteries, and can do so hundreds of thousands of times. Batteries, on the other hand, are able to store more energy than capacitors.
