Connecting capacitors in series is no more difficult than connecting resistors in series. Capacitors can be connected to each other or to other types of components very easily because a capacitor has ...

One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...

Questions continually arise concerning the correct definition of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of a capacitor and, more particularly, the difference between ESR and the actual physical series ...

Many system applications require that capacitors be connected together, in series and/or parallel combinations, to form a "bank" with a specific voltage and capacitance rating. The most critical ...
