One way to step down the voltage to adjust the voltage levels and match specific requirements is by using a capacitor in series with the circuit to reduce the AC voltage. In this article, we will explore the process of…
The main difference between SOIC8 and SO8 manufacturing is the width of the leads from the IC itself. SO8 has a little larger footprint per pin than SOIC8, but with similar pin gap space per row, they fit the same…
Replacing a 45/5 microfarad (uF) dual-run capacitor with a 40/5 uF capacitor is generally not recommended. Usually, a capacitor is utilized in a motor’s compressor. And if we replace a capacitor with a tiny uf capacitor, the compressor will very…
370 and 440 capacitors simply mean 370 VAC and 440 VAC capacitors. These two capacitors are most commonly used as run capacitors of an AC induction motor. Between 370 VAC and 440 VAC capacitors, it is always preferable to use…
While choosing the right diode size for your project, consider the packet size, and voltage rating and evaluate the maximum forward current. Choosing the correct size diode ensures optimal performance, prevents overheating, and avoids potential circuit damage. In this article,…
Reverse polarity voltage and over-voltage are the two main factors that can make a capacitor explode. Compared to other types of capacitors, electrolytic capacitors are more likely to explode. In the following piece, we shall explore the primary factors contributing…
In the present day, electric motors are a vital component of a wide variety of technologies. They supply power for both commercial and household appliances. Among the many varieties of electric motors, direct current (DC) motors stand out for their…
Isn’t it an interesting thing that a transformer contains copper? The amount of copper in a transformer can vary widely depending on the transformer’s size, design, and purpose. In this article, we will talk about the existence of copper in…
Low ESR capacitors have lower power losses and internal heating issues than high ESR capacitors. High ESR values shorten the life of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor and reduce performance. Furthermore, a low ESR value enables increased ripple current capacity. ESR(Equivalent…
