High Voltage Capacitors

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 24 views

Do you looking for high voltage capacitors for your circuit..? I just get this table about capacitor working voltage for each type of capacitor (ceramic, electrolytic, tantalum, mylar polyester and mylar metal film capacitor). Ceramic Electrolytic Tantalum Mylar ...

Electrolytic Capacitor

Thursday, November 20th, 2008 42 views

Electrolytic capacitor or electrolytics condensator or we often call "ELCO" is a type of capacitor that uses an ionic conducting liquid as one of its plates. Typically with a larger capacitance per unit volume than other types, they are valuable in relatively high-current and low-frequency electrical circuits. This is especially ...

LED - Light Emitting Diode

Sunday, November 9th, 2008 145 views

LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electric current is applied in the forward direction of the device, as in the simple LED circuit. The effect is a form of electroluminescence where incoherent and narrow-spectrum light is emitted from the p-n junction. LEDs are widely ...

Transformers Calculation

Friday, November 7th, 2008 96 views

A transformer can be viewed as a converter that can increase voltage and lower current, or vice versa. It only works when using AC. The transformer is effectively a magnetic circuit. The transformer has two or more coils of wire wrapped about a common core. The ideal relationship is:

Capacitance Part I

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 85 views

In this reading we are going to talk about capacitance. I have to make a distinction here between capacitor and capacitance. A capacitor is a device, whereas capacitance is an electrical property. First we will discuss the capacitor and then the property of capacitance. We will avoid mathematics where possible. Construction As you ...

Purpose Of The Resistor

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 41 views

Resistors can play any of numerous different roles in electrical and electronic equipment. Here are a few of the more common ways resistors are used. Voltage division You’ve already learned a little about how voltage dividers can be designed using resistors. The resistors dissipate some power in doing this job, but the ...

Transformer Tap Switches

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 13 views

WHAT A TRANSFORMER TAP CHANGER IS AND WHAT IT DOES. A tap changer is a device fitted to power transformers for regulation of the output voltage to required levels. This is normally achieved by changing the ratios of the transformers on the system by altering the number of turns in one ...

Resistor Color Code
