One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...

Questions continually arise concerning the correct definition of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of a capacitor and, more particularly, the difference between ESR and the actual physical series ...

Available in chip, radial and prismatic styles, this new series of proprietary, Advanced Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (AAECs) is said to improve upon present-day aluminum electrolytics by offering ...

Capacitors connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors’ capacitances. If two or more are connected in parallel, the effect is that of a single equivalent ...

Power system designers are constantly under pressure to attain larger power densities and improved conversion efficiencies, whether it is for data servers for the internet of things or data centers.
