Capacitor — This article is about the electronic component. For the physical phenomenon, see capacitance. For an overview of various kinds of capacitors, see types of capacitor. Capacitor Modern capacitors, by a cm ruler Type Passive … Wikipedia
Filter capacitor — Filter capacitors are any capacitors used for filtering. Filter capacitors are common in electrical and electronic work, and cover a number of applications, such as: * Glitch removal on dc power rails * Radio frequency interference (RFI) removal… … Wikipedia
Ripple (electrical) — The most common meaning of ripple in electrical science, is the small unwanted residual periodic variation of the direct current (dc) output of a power supply which has been derived from an alternating current (ac) source. This ripple is due to… … Wikipedia
Rectifier — A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers … Wikipedia
Diode bridge — Three bridge rectifiers. The size is generally related to the current handling capability … Wikipedia
Pre-charge — of the powerline voltages in a high voltage DC application is a preliminary mode which current limits the power source such that a controlled rise time of the system voltage during power up is achieved.When high voltage systems are designed… … Wikipedia
Pulsed DC — or PDC is the form of wave produced from a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Full wave rectified ac is more commonly known as Rectified AC. PDC has some characteristics of both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)… … Wikipedia
Motor controller — A motor controller is a device or group of devices that serves to govern in some predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor.[1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor,… … Wikipedia
