  2. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Film/foil film capacitors: PP, PET, PTFE: Film/foil film capacitors have the highest surge ratings/pulse voltage, respectively. Peak currents are higher than for metallized types. No self-healing properties: internal short may be disabling. Larger dimensions than metallized alternative. Polypropylene (PP) film capacitors: Polypropylene

  3. Film capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_capacitor

    Film/foil capacitors or metal foil capacitors are made with two plastic films as the dielectric. Each is layered with a thin metal foil, usually aluminum, as the electrodes. Advantages of this construction type are easy electrical connection to the metal foil electrodes, and its ability to handle high current surges.

  4. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    A tantalum electrolytic capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor, a passive component of electronic circuits. It consists of a pellet of porous tantalum metal as an anode, covered by an insulating oxide layer that forms the dielectric, surrounded by liquid or solid electrolyte as a cathode.

  5. Foil (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(fluid_mechanics)

    Foil (fluid mechanics) A foil is a solid object with a shape such that when placed in a moving fluid at a suitable angle of attack the lift (force generated perpendicular to the fluid flow) is substantially larger than the drag (force generated parallel to the fluid flow). If the fluid is a gas, the foil is called an airfoil or aerofoil, and if ...

  6. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    An assortment of electrolytic capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through anodization. This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A solid, liquid, or gel electrolyte covers the surface of this oxide layer, serving as ...

  7. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_electrolytic...

    Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are (usually) polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminum foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A non-solid electrolyte covers the rough surface of the ...

  8. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    In fluid dynamics, flow separation or boundary layer separation is the detachment of a boundary layer from a surface into a wake. [1] A boundary layer exists whenever there is relative movement between a fluid and a solid surface with viscous forces present in the layer of fluid close to the surface. The flow can be externally, around a body ...

  9. Surge protector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

    Surge Protection Device (SPD) for installation in a low-voltage distribution board. A surge protector (or spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, [1] surge protection device (SPD) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices in alternating current (AC) circuits from voltage spikes with very short duration measured in ...
