A team of McGill University researchers, working with colleagues in the United States and South Korea, has developed a new ...

While implementing a capacitor auto‐discharge module is easy, engineers must choose the right bleeder resistor and discharge switch.

Finally, three methods for calculating the related electric efficiency of the discharge cell are discussed. DC-AC power converters; multilevel inverters; electric discharges; plasma Three cell flying ...

This decreases charge–discharge efficiency, which measures how effectively a capacitor converts electrical energy into stored energy and then back again.

A dc-bus capacitor discharge method based on bleeder and windings for electric vehicles in emergency is proposed. In order to reduce the volume and weight of the bleeding ...

This method used electronic switches to reverse the capacitor during the middle of the discharge cycle. Such a reversal requires switches that are capable of controlling both high currents and high ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

Partial discharge occurs when a small area of insulation, in a high-voltage environment, can’t handle the electrical stress level, leading to breakdown.
