Capacitors
A capacitor (originally known as a condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors/plates separated by a dielectric. The no conducting dielectric acts to increase the capacitor's charge capacity. Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy. To make sure energy is stored properly and within safety regions hoc_age uses high-end automated machines to assure the precision of its product. With IS-1709 and IS-2993 hoc_age promises reliability, durability and efficiency of its capacitors.
Applications
Energy Storage
A capacitor can store electric energy when disconnected from its charging circuit, so it can be used like a temporary battery, or like other types of rechargeable energy storage system.
Pulsed Power and Weapons
These include electromagnetic forming, Marx generators, pulsed lasers (especially TEA lasers), pulse forming networks, radar, fusion research, and particle accelerators.
Power Conditioning
Reservoir capacitors are used in power supplies where they smooth the output of a full or half wave rectifier. They can also be used in charge pump circuits as the energy storage element in the generation of higher voltages than the input voltage.
Power Factor Correction
Capacitors are used for power factor correction. The purpose is to counteract inductive loading from devices like electric motors and transmission lines to make the load appear to be mostly resistive.
Motor Starters
In single-phase squirrel cage motors, the primary winding within the motor housing is not capable of starting a rotational motion on the rotor, but is capable of sustaining one. To start the motor, a secondary "start" winding has a series non-polarized starting capacitor to introduce a lead in the sinusoidal current.
Motor Run
It helps to provide the contiues and smooth voltage supply to the motor.
