Chapter 14 CAPACITORS IN AC AND DC CIRCUITS
voltage across capacitor plates is the common quantity for capacitors in parallel (see Figure 14.8). b.) Over time, the charge that accumulates on the various capacitors has to equal the total charge Qo drawn from the power supply, or: Q o = Q 1 + Q 2 + Q 3 + . . . As each capacitor''s charge is related to the voltage across its plates by Q = CV ...

AC Capacitance and Capacitive Reactance
In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals.
Understanding Detuning Reactors ( Anti-resonance Reactors)
Every capacitor or capacitor tap is connected in series to an inductance (reactor), in contrast to "normal" unprotected compensation. If the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit formed in this way ( capacitors and Inductor) deviates (is lower) by more than 10% from the frequency of the nearest harmonic, then one speaks of a …

Shunt Capacitors and Reactors
The relative merits between shunt and series capacitors may be summarized as follows: 1. If the load VAr requirement is small, series capacitors are of little use. 2. With series capacitors the reduction in line current is small; hence if thermal considerations limit the current, little advantage is obtained and shunt compensation should be ...
Understanding Detuning Reactors ( Anti-resonance Reactors)
If the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit formed in this way ( capacitors and Inductor) deviates (is lower) by more than 10% from the frequency of the nearest harmonic, then one speaks of a detuned resonator circuit or an anti-resonance circuit. Reactor protected compensation systems are designed as detuned resonator …

Capacitor Specifications: what they mean
7. How to Select Capacitors Considering Life Expectancy. Capacitor life or lifetime expectancy is the length of time the capacitor will stay healthy as designed. This is critical for electrolytic capacitors. For ceramic capacitors, this is not an issue and probably not worth to look in to when selecting capacitors for small signal circuits.

When you have a capacitor an inductor in series, depending on the frequency you can reach a "resonance" point, where the voltage across the capacitor will increase to much higher than the mains voltage due to its interaction with the inductor, as the capacitor will fail if the voltage gets too high you want to avoid this. combine this with the ...
