    How can I place the Capacitor on a PCB that receives a single power supply and outputs multiple power out?

    Hello I made a circuit that turns on/off the fan according to the temperature and controls the FAN speed(PWM) and this is my PCB design this is 2 layer board and both GND plane the FAN Speed Control motor is 3A and the Comp FAN motor requires 4 A power before this circuit, there was no...

    Smoothing voltage drops when cranking with a capacitor

    Hi All, I have a issue I am trying to resolve. I am using a timed output relay (Redarc TIM05) as a kill switch. Once a momentary button is pushed, an output is set at 30 seconds, supplying 12v to pin 86 of a 30amp relay that runs inline with the starter motor trigger. The issue I am having, is...

    Purpose of the Capacitor in this filter

    Hi, I do understand that the C5, L3, C6 form a pi filter. But what is the purpose of the other capacitors i.e C8 and C7? What purpose do they serve?

    Using mosfets to switch capacitors into series

    Me and my friends have been building a project for a couple of months now and we got stuck on on something we dont have much experience with. We need to connect 4 charged capacitors into series in order to have a higher voltage than the supply, we have been using relays and a arduino nano to do...

    Can you help me with finding this SMD Capacitor?

    Hello, I have a guitar wireless (shouldn't matter) and it seems that a capacitor has burned out (picture included). But I am not even 100% sure this is a capacitor, the markings do not look like anything I've seen. The good news is that the PCB has several other devices that appear to be the...

    How to search for a part number in Altium Designer libraries?

    Hello, I have a schematic in a pdf format (generated by Altium Designer) which has the below capacitors labeled LEC692. My first guess was this must be the Part Number but I didn't find it in the "Miscellaneous devices" library!! And also looking into the internet didn't give anything!! Can...

    Dual capacitor wiring issues

    Ok so I have a twin tub mini washer and I need to replace the capacitor because the washing motor has stopped functuooning. This machine has a round dual capacitor for the spin dry motor (which is still functioning fine) & for the washing motor which runs on high or low speed. It has four wires...

    Clock edge detector using capacitor and resistor problem

    I have watched recently this video: At the end of it he describe a way to make edge detector by using capacitor and resistor. The thing is i don't see it being discharged in any way. Would't it make it impossible to charge again and in consequence make current flow through the resistor and make...

    Starting Capacitor in non-motorized devices.

    Hi, I have a question to solve. Why should an starting capacitor only be used in single-phase motors and not in devices non-motorized, for example, a television? The starting capacitor protects the motor, I would like to know if the starting capacitor is equally useful in protecting devices such...

    Is this capacitor failing

    This is the cap(the one on the left) on the power board of my monitor. 4700uf 25V. Since the monitor turns off in a few seconds everytime I power it up I tried to take a look. Since it is not egregiously bloating I was wondering when do caps like these stop working or is it already a goner?

    What capacitor for 12V 1A source

    So I have designed a relay that automatically switch to battery source input if blackout happens, to power my 12V wifi. But the relay has 1 second delay to switch to battery input. Many people suggest me to get a capacitor, to buy time waiting relay to switch. Question is : how much uf...
