  2. Pre-charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-charge

    Inrush currents into capacitive components are a key concern in power-up stress to components. When DC input power is applied to a capacitive load, the step response of the voltage input will cause the input capacitor to charge. The capacitor charging starts with an inrush current and ends with an exponential decay down to the steady state ...

  3. Charge pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_pump

    Charge pumps are used in H bridges in high-side drivers for gate-driving high-side n-channel power MOSFETs and IGBTs. When the centre of a half bridge goes low, the capacitor is charged through a diode, and this charge is used to later drive the gate of the high-side FET a few volts above the source voltage so as to switch it on.

    With cars the two sources may be applied to the same shaft (for example with the electric motor connected between the engine and transmission), turning at equal speeds and the torques adding up with the electric motor adding or subtracting torque to the system as necessary. (The first two generations of Honda Insight use this system.)

  5. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_accessory_power

    High-efficiency all-electric refrigerant compressors for air conditioning are starting to be used, especially in hybrid or all-electric vehicles. The cigarette lighter receptacle serves as a de facto standard for use of portable 12 volt equipment in or near an automobile, it is sometimes used with car charger to power devices with batteries.

  6. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    The capacitors act as a local reserve for the DC power source, and bypass AC currents from the power supply. This is used in car audio applications, when a stiffening capacitor compensates for the inductance and resistance of the leads to the lead-acid car battery.

  7. Electric car charging methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_charging_methods

    Electric car charging at National Air and Space Museum, 12 December 2016. Various methods exist for recharging the batteries of electric cars . Currently, the largest concern surrounding electric vehicle transportation is the total travel range available before the need to recharge.

  8. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    The capacitors act as a local reserve for the DC power source, and bypass AC currents from the power supply. This is used in car audio applications, when a stiffening capacitor compensates for the inductance and resistance of the leads to the lead–acid car battery .

  9. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Consequently, the second gap breaks down to add the third capacitor to the "stack", and the process continues to sequentially break down all of the gaps. This process of the spark gaps connecting the capacitors in series to create the high voltage is called erection. The last gap connects the output of the series "stack" of capacitors to the load.
