NIOBIUM CAPACITORS
Niobium electrolytic capacitors are an alternative to tantalum capacitors because of their unique properties. They have niobium oxide…
Tantalum capacitors, their benefits and applications
Tantalum capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor, where porous tantalum metal is the anode, and its Titanium oxide layer…
Effect of Storage Conditions on Electrolytic Capacitors
Aluminium electrolytic capacitors usually have body of aluminum, which is prone to degradation by exposure to corrosive weather…
Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors: Construction and Applications
Simply put, electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors, whose anode voltage is higher, or more positive, than cathode. In…
Why do Electrolytic Capacitors fail and even Explode?
Power Factor of an AC circuit or a system is defined as the ratio of active power (or real power) to apparent power. It is that fraction of total apparent power, which is consumed in doing a work, conversion into heat or some other form of energy.
How Can Electrolytic Capacitors work for AC Motor Starting?
Electrolytic capacitors are essentially polar components, and are rated for DV voltages. They cannot sustain reversal of polarity,…
