aging

Electronic components; Capacitors

The change in properties of a material with time under specific conditions.

alternating current

Electronic components; Capacitors

Electric current that rises from zero to a maximum in one direction, falls to zero and then rises to a maximum in the opposite direction, and then repeats another cycle.

ambient temperature

Electronic components; Capacitors

The temperature of the air or oil surrounding and in contact with the capacitor. To determine the maximum capacitor temperature, add this value to the internal working heat rise ...

anode

Electronic components; Capacitors

The electrode through which a direct current enters the liquid, gas, or other discrete part of an electrical circuit; the positively charged pole of an electrochemical cell.

arc

Electronic components; Capacitors

Intense luminous discharge formed by the passage of electric current across a space between electrodes.

arcover voltage

Electronic components; Capacitors

The minimum voltage required to create an arc between electrodes separated by an insulation under specified conditions. To increase the Arcover Voltage, clean the area between the ...

ballast

Electronic components; Capacitors

Device for starting and regulating fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps.
