Build a capacitor discharge tool using a resistor, two pieces of 12AWG wire or larger, and heat shrink tubing. This design comes from online repair database iFixit who uses it on their well known ...

What function does a capacitor auto-discharger perform in a power supply circuit, and how does it work? What are its fundamental building blocks, and can engineers develop a capacitor auto-discharge ...

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.

Power Integrations has launched CAPZero, a family of innovative, two-terminal, automatic X capacitor discharge ICs that eliminate power losses while allowing power supplies to ...

The new work takes this last feature, already a strength, and improves upon it. As anyone who didn't sleep through high school physics will recall, at its most basic level, a capacitor involves ...

New CAPZero-3 X-capacitor discharge ICs from Power Integrations meet IEC60335 and reduce standby power for appliance applications ...
