displacement current
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A current which exists in addition to ordinary conduction current in ACcircuits. It is proportional to the rate of change of the electric field.
disruptive discharge
Electronic components; Capacitors
The sudden and large increase in current through an insulation medium due to the complete failure of the medium under the electrostatic stress.
dissipation factor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The tangent of the loss angle of the insulating material. A measure of the power factor (or losses) of a capacitor, given as D.F. = 6.28 fRC X 100%, where R is the equivalent ...
dv/dt
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Change in Voltage divided by Change in Time, usually expressed in Volts per uSec.
electric double layer capacitor (EDLC)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Next-generation energy storage device that will be used as an auxiliary power supply and the combined use with photovoltaics equipment and hybrid electric cars. Also known as ...
electrode
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A conductor, not necessarily metal, through which a current enters or leaves a capacitor.
electrolytic capacitor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A polarized capacitor exhibiting a very high capacitance/volume ratio that consists of two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, with a chemical film that acts as a dielectric on ...
