Capacitors

viscosity

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

A measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow (usually through a specific orifice).

volt

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Unit of Electromotive Force. It is the difference of potential required to make a current of one ampere flow through a resistance of one ohm.

voltage

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Electromotive Force, potential, potential difference, or voltage drop, to designate electric pressure that exists between two points and is capable of producing a flow of current when a closed ...

voltage sag

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Drop in voltage levels of electrical distribution system which interferes with the operation of electrical and electronic equipment. Commonly called brownout. Results when demand for electricity ...

These capacitors use carbon aerogel to attain immense electrode surface area, can attain huge values, up to thousands of farads. EDLCs can be used as replacements for batteries in applications where ...

aluminum electrolytic capacitor

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are compact but “lossy”. They are available in the range of <1 µF to 1,000,000 µF with working voltages up to several hundred volts DC. The dielectric is a thin layer ...

ambient temperature

Electrical equipment; 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 that the capacitor ...
