UK based ARCOL Resistors has introduced its RW Discharge Resistor. This wire-wound resistor is designed for quick and easy mounting on to capacitors and is typically used as a discharge or balancing ...

EPCOS has optimized its discharge resistor modules based on hybrid ceramics to simplify mounting of discharge resistors on PFC capacitors and enhance reliability. The new module is no longer supplied ...

Power factor correction is a very popular and well-established technique for reducing the overall energy consumption of electrical systems including power lines, transformers, motors, and other ...

Cornwall-based Arcol Resistors has released a wirewound discharge resistor for large capacitors. Shaped to screw straight onto the capacitor, there are three power ratings in the RW series: 10W ...

Power Integrations is aiming at larger home appliances needing to meet IEC60335 with an X-capacitor discharger that can empty 6µF in under a second. X-capacitors are part of the EMC input filter of ...
