Many system applications require that capacitors be connected together, in series and/or parallel combinations, to form a "bank" with a specific voltage and capacitance rating. The most critical ...

When testing your devices, it may become apparent that the device needs protection against an overvoltage condition. Most power supplies offer some form of overvoltage-protect (OVP) circuit. The OVP ...

An undervoltage or voltage sag is a disturbance that commonly occurs during electrical faults or when equipment is turning on. They are produced when large currents are being drawn on the system. On ...

Supercaps have advantages; however, when faced with charging energy storage devices in series, the end product designer may be faced with such problems as cell balancing, cell overvoltage damage while ...

Lightning, inductive load switching, or capacitor bank switching may cause transient overvoltage conditions in AC line voltage applications such as white goods and appliances. Metal Oxide Varistors ...
