Abstract: This paper addresses re-strike conditions of breakers connecting capacitor banks. Field cases are presented as related to both breaker failure and breaker re-strike conditions. A method has ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

[Bertho] really enjoyed pawing through the pile of projects submitted to the 7400 logic contest. But one thing kept hitting him with the vast majority of the entries: decoupling capacitors were ...
