Points to note when choosing X capacitors 1. Capacitors for suppressing electromagnetic interference of power supply When capacitors are used to eliminate noise in power cross-line circuits, not only normal voltages, but also abnormal pulse voltages (such as lightning) must be considered, which may cause the capacitors to smoke or catch fire. Therefore, the safety standards [...]

Starting capacitors refer to AC electrolytic capacitors or polypropylene and polyester capacitors used to start single-phase asynchronous motors. The single-phase current flowing through a single-phase motor cannot generate a rotating magnetic field, and a capacitor is needed to separate the phases. The purpose is to make the current in the two windings produce a phase difference [...]

Five precautions for replacing capacitors Fixed capacitors are prone to failure phenomena such as leakage, short circuit, open circuit, poor contact of the internal leads of the capacitor (the pole piece and the lead connection), etc. Especially electrolytic capacitors have a much higher failure rate than other types of capacitors. The frequent failure phenomena of electrolytic [...]

1. Capacitance are generally represented by "C" plus a number in the circuit (for example, C13 represents the capacitor numbered 13). A capacitor is a component composed of two metal films close together and separated by an insulating material. The characteristic of the capacitor is mainly to block DC and pass AC. The size of the capacitor [...]

The main technical indicators of capacitors are capacitance, withstand voltage and temperature. In addition to these three main indicators, the more important of other indicators is equivalent series resistance (ESR). Some capacitors have a golden strip line with a big hollow letter "I" printed on it, which indicates that the capacitor is a LOW ESR low-loss [...]
