-Multilayer ceramic chip capacitor CDR-05 (MIL part number) is one of the most used parts in ISRO’s satellite program. Cracks evolved in ceramic chip capacitors CDR-05 (size: 1825and dielectric: X7R) of two different makesduring soldering process are studied in this paper. It has been observed that CDR-05 capacitors of one particular make (Manufacturer-A) more prone to crack during soldering on...

Installation of capacitors in distribution networks is one of the most used procedure to compensate reactive power generated by loads and, consequently, to reduce technical losses. So, the problem consists in identifying the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors. This problem is known in the literature as optimal capacitor placement problem. Neverthless, depending on the location and size ...

The parallel-plate capacitor equation is widely used in contemporary material research for nanoscale applications and nanoelectronics. To apply this equation, flat and smooth electrodes are assumed for a capacitor. This essential assumption is often violated for thin-film capacitors because the formation of nanoscale roughness at the electrode interface is very probable for thin films grown via...

this paper describes an advantageous method for using the capacitor banks in the distribution network, optimally. the aim is to determine the count, location and capacitor values in order to minimize the annual cost resulting from energy losses and capacitor bank’s installation cost. besides, in the case of having nonlinear loads in the network, by installing capacitors in appropriate locations...

Recently, linear compressors of cooling systems such as refrigerators, which have a free piston driven by a linear motor, have attracted much attention because of their high efficiency. For structural reasons, linear compressors applied in refrigerators should use an AC capacitor to ensure stable control. However, AC capacitors are expensive and bulky. In this paper, we propose a new method to ...
