Potential relays are commonly found on many smaller, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors in the HVACR industry. Their function is to assist in starting the electric motor. Potential ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Innovative Vanair Super Capacitor works with a self-contained alternator on the unit to start the vehicle and recharge the capacitor instantaneously Vanair's Cap-Start 3000 features its innovative ...

I didn't have one intended for the purpose so I used a pair of Angela MKP caps (correct capacitance, higher voltage) I had left over from tube amp building days. Dryers run without these if you give ...

Back in 2006 I wrote about how my friend Alan Martin over at Texas Instruments had a saying: “It’s always a capacitor.” This was based on his observance that there is a lot of test equipment that goes ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...
