Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

Power quality issues involve all aspects of power system operation, from steady-state voltage regulation to the control of high-frequency transients caused by lightning or switching operations.

NOJA Power's OSM Automatic Circuit Reclosers are being successfully utilized as capacitor switches in Colombia. NOJA Power reclosers can be used in situations beyond the traditional protection grading ...

Capacitor banks are widely employed in electrical networks for reactive power compensation, voltage support and power-factor correction. Their switching operations, however, give rise to transient ...

Southern States CapSwitcher is a high-voltage capacitor switching device specifically designed to meet the power quality needs of today's electrical systems. This special purpose SF6 capacitor switch ...

An unstable power supply can cause severe system issues, such as audible noise from the passive components, unexpected jittering in the switching frequency, extreme oscillations on the output voltage ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Existing test solutions aren’t always suitable for the latest improvements in switching regulator technology. Transient load testing can address these inequities. In response to the recent ...
