  2. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    The loss tangent is defined by the angle between the capacitor's impedance vector and the negative reactive axis. If the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, the dissipation factor due to the non-ideal capacitor is expressed as the ratio of the resistive power loss in the ESR to the reactive power oscillating in the capacitor, or

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    This switch is often integrated into the room thermostat and can be manually set or automatically controlled by a digital room thermostat. For automatic fan speed and temperature control, Building Energy Management Systems are employed. The fan motors commonly used in these units are typically AC Shaded Pole or Permanent Split Capacitor motors.

    Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...

  5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.

    Leads separated from the capacitor by rough handling during storage, assembly or operation, leading to an open failure. The failure can occur invisibly inside the packaging and is measurable. [2] Increase of dissipation factor due to contamination of capacitor materials, particularly from flux and solvent residues. [2]

    thermostat A thermostat is a system that monitors and regulates a heating or cooling system. It can be used to set the desired temperature at which it keeps the environment either heated or cooled. two-stage (cooling and heating) A two-stage air conditioner is designed to operate on high and low settings during different weather conditions and ...

  8. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    The reactive power produced by a capacitor bank is in direct proportion to the square of its terminal voltage, and if the system voltage decreases, the capacitors produce less reactive power, when it is most needed, [2] while if the system voltage increases the capacitors produce more reactive power, which exacerbates the problem. In contrast ...

  9. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    A capacitor is a device that stores energy in the form of an electric field. As current is driven through the capacitor, charge build-up causes an opposing voltage to develop across the capacitor. This voltage increases until some maximum dictated by the capacitor structure. In an AC network, the voltage across a capacitor is constantly changing.
