Capacitors

Ballast

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Device for starting and regulating fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps.

Blocking

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

A situation where Direct Current (DC) is kept from a circuit element due to the high series impedance of a capacitor.

The angular difference in phase between the sinusoidal alternating potential difference applied to a dielectric and the component of the resulting alternating current having the same period as the ...

Dielectric power factor

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The cosine of the dielectric phase angle (or sine of the dielectric loss angle).

Dielectric strength

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

The voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown (puncture) occurs, usually expressed as a voltage gradient (such as volts per mil). The voltage figure used is the average RMS ...

Dielectric test

Electrical equipment; Capacitors

Tests which consist of the application of a voltage higher than the rated voltage for a specified time to determine the adequacy against breakdown of insulating materials and spacings under normal ...
