Contributors in Capacitors
Capacitors
Silicone
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
Polymeric materials in which the recurring chemical group contains silicon and oxygen atoms as links in the main chain.
Sine wave
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A mathematical function used to represent voltage and current.
Sparkover
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
A disruptive discharge between electrodes of a measuring gap, such as a sphere gap or oil testing gap.
Specific gravity
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The density (mass per unit volume) of any material divided by that of water at a standard temperature.
Mica capacitor
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
This is made of metal foil plates that are separated by sheets of mica (the dielectric). The whole assembly is encased in moulded plastic. Since the capacitor parts are moulded into a plastic case, ...
Moisture resistance
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
The ability of a material to resist absorbing moisture from the air or when immersed in water
Oil capacitors (self healing)
Electrical equipment; Capacitors
These are often used in high-power electronic equipment. An oil-filled capacitor is nothing more than a paper capacitor that is immersed in oil. Since oil impregnated paper has a high dielectric ...
