Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual ...

Capacitors are essential components in electrical circuits, serving as energy storage devices that can help start motors, filter signals, and much more. Installing a capacitor may seem daunting, but ...

Different reverse-polarity solutions and their effectiveness at providing car battery front-end protection. How a smart diode controller can provide optimal reverse-battery protection. If the battery ...

Do you have a need to find faulty capacitors? High ESR can lead to problems. Back in 2002, Elektor published an article about a DIY in-circuit capacitor tester, and the Elektor Lab team designed the ...

At present, my home network has a somewhat janky NAS consisting of 2, 1 TB USB 3.0 HDs hanging off an ARM router running FreshTomato. While this has worked for a number of years, I'm thinking of ...

To prevent extensive damage during operational life, these systems require the design-in of systems that – at a certain voltage level – provide protection from voltage polarity reversal. This article ...
