2. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

   A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run ...

3. Capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

   Polyester film capacitors are frequently used as coupling capacitors. Because capacitors pass AC but block DC signals (when charged up to the applied DC voltage), they are often used to separate the AC and DC components of a signal. This method is known as AC coupling or "capacitive coupling".

4. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

   Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

5. Open-circuit time constant method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_time_constant...

   Select capacitor C 2, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 1 by an open circuit. Then the resistance seen by the test voltage is found using the circuit in the middle panel of Figure 1 and is simply V X / I X = R 1 + R 2. Form the product C 2 ( R 1 + R 2). Select capacitor C 1, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 2 by an open

6. Film capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_capacitor

   AC capacitors serve as damping or snubbing capacitors when connected in series with a resistor, and are also specified for the damping of undesirable voltage spikes caused by the so-called charge carrier storage effect during switching of power semiconductors. In addition, AC capacitors are used in low-detuned or close-tuned filter circuits for ...

7. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

   A capacitor can also act as an AC resistor. aluminium electrolytic capacitors in particular are often used as decoupling capacitors to filter or bypass undesired AC frequencies to ground or for capacitive coupling of audio AC signals. Then the dielectric is used only for blocking DC.

8. Flexible AC transmission system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_AC_transmission...

   Power flow is increased by adding a series capacitor to offset line inductance or decreased by adding a series load-flow reactor to add to the line inductance. One type of series compensation is the Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC), which combines the TCR from an SVC in parallel with a traditional fixed series capacitor. As using ...

9. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

   Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.
