Contributors in Capacitors
Capacitors
Thermal expansion (coefficient of transients)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The fractional change in length (sometimes volume) of a material for a unit change in temperature.
Transients
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
High voltage surges through an electrical system caused by lightning strikes to nearby transformers, overhead lines, or the ground. May also be caused by switching of motors and compressors, as well ...
Ul (underwriters' laboratories, inc)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Laboratory that sets safety standards for building materials, electrical appliances, and other products.
Roentgen
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The amount-of radiation that will produce one electrostatic unit of ions per cubic centimetre volume.
Schering bridge
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
An alternating current form of Wheatstone bridge, used for comparing capacitances or for measuring the phase angle of a capacitor by comparison with a standard capacitor.
Semiconductor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A material whose resistivity is between that of insulators and conductors. The resistivity is often changed by light, heat, an electric field, or magnetic field. Current flow is often achieved by ...
Series lamp operation
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Refers to ballasts that employ a single current path passing through all lamps operated by the ballast If one lamp should fail, companion lamps operated by the same ballast will also extinguish.
