Seaward has introduced the first instrument of its type for the safe discharge of stored energy in large capacitors and electrically charged equipment. The portable new SD300 is a highly innovative, ...

Researchers have developed a new method for quickly and efficiently storing and discharging large amounts of energy. Their "electrochemical flow capacitor," which is fully scalable, could be the key ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast charging ...

Pulse-skipping mode (PSM) is widely used as a method for improving the efficiency at light load. For this example, we will use the TPS65290 which has adopted PSM. A simplified block diagram and an ...

Cornwall-based Arcol Resistors has released a wirewound discharge resistor for large capacitors. Shaped to screw straight onto the capacitor, there are three power ratings in the RW series: 10W ...

Pulsed power is a technology that consists in accumulating energy over some period of time, then releasing it very quickly. Since power equals energy (or work) divided by time, the idea is to emit a ...

Test engineers turn to programmable power supplies when they need to apply power to their device under test (DUT). Sometimes, the DUT has a small amount of stored energy that needs to be removed ...

A research group has successfully developed a high-capacity capacitor, an energy storage device -- using a solid electrolyte with high deformability -- that can operate at high temperatures. With this ...
