Restrikes or re-ignitions occur when the dielectric strength of the open gap, during contact parting, is not great enough to withstand the recovery voltage across the open gap. With a capacitive load, ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...
