Investigating potential power current sources capable of handling both AC and DC currents using the LM317 current source.

The image above shows current measurments with the inverter under load. Images on the right show a decoupled circuit and the ones on the left shows a circuit without that capacitor. You can see ...

The ‘safe’ way to reform old capacitors is to physically remove them from the equipment, and apply a low, controlled voltage below the rated value to keep the bias current at a low value ...

Capacitors with unique construction and failure modes are placed on the AC line to manage EMI modes and ensure user safety.

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up ...
