High-voltage capacitors are used to store electricity. These capacitors have one end connected to a source of electric potential, the other end is grounded. High voltage capacitors are generally rated at greater than 2000 volts and are mostly used to safely store excess energy from electrical devices or power generation plants. A high-voltage capacitor is […]
Diodes are one of the most common semiconductor devices used in electronic equipment today. They’re also one of the most misunderstood. After all, diodes are often referred to as “one-way gates” or “steal gates” when talking about their operation. When a diode is cut off from outside voltage, electrons within it become trapped inside and […]
High-voltage resistors (also known as HVRs) are used in electrical applications to increase the resistance of a circuit. They work by providing more resistance at higher voltages, which reduces current flow through the component. If you’re new to electronics, you might wonder what high voltage and high resistance have to do with one another. After […]
High-voltage resistors are used to limit voltage through a circuit at a certain value. This is useful because it prevents damage to sensitive hardware and makes life easier when working with high voltages. High-voltage resistors come in many different formats and can be used in just about any electronic circuit. High voltage resistive are available […]
