Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Enecsys claims that its 240W micro-inverters are the first to achieve UL certification without electrolytic capacitors. The photovoltaic (PV) micro-inverter is also certified for use in Europe. With ...

When a design needs auxiliary voltage rails and the associated current loads are modest, capacitor pump voltage multipliers are often the simplest, cheapest, and most efficient way to make them. Wow ...

The DC-link capacitor is a cornerstone of traction inverters under the hood of EVs. These passive components are used to smooth out and steady DC voltages traveling from the battery into the inverter.

Damage to a relay contact after cyclic current loading. A better understanding of inverter reliability will help boost performance and reduce costs. Image: Fraunhofer IMWS. Inverters are critical to ...

A large portion of design for recycling concerns product assembly. Gluing parts together can mean that they cannot be separated cost efficiently, or ever again at all. Push-fit connections are the ...

KEMET has expanded its commercial and automotive grade high voltage C0G Ceramic Capacitors as increasing use of wideband power semiconductors in power electronics applications drives forward new ...
