Salvage the microwave oven transformer (MOT) by discharging the lethal capacitor, unwinding the high-voltage secondary coil, and rewinding thick wire (e.g., 16mm²) for 3-5 turns to create a powerful ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...
