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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced LinkSwitch™-TNZ, a new ...

With IEC 62368 replacing earlier safety standards for TVs and IT equipment, Power Integrations is certifying its X capacitor discharge ICs to the new standard. X capacitors control conducted emissions ...

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 ...

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 ...
