How does current flow in a circuit with a capacitor?

$begingroup$ Correct me if I am wrong, but how does the capacitor pass current when it is in series with an AC signal source? The current "passes" but not in the way that you expect. Since the voltage changes sinusoidally, the voltages also changes across the capacitor, which gives rise to an EMF that induces a current on the other side of the capacitor.

power supply

I''m making a power-supply circuit for some MCUs using a battery charging-discharging protect module MH-CD42 (both input and output is 5 V). The module''s datasheet says it has a 0.3 seconds switch time when connecting or disconnecting the DC power input, so I use a 10 F super capacitor to make sure those MCUs don''t power off due to power loss.

23.2: Reactance, Inductive and Capacitive

Capacitors can be used to filter out low frequencies. For example, a capacitor in series with a sound reproduction system rids it of the 60 Hz hum. Although a capacitor is basically an open circuit, there is an rms current in a circuit with an AC voltage applied to a capacitor. This is because the voltage is continually reversing, charging and discharging the capacitor. If the

6 FAQs about [Capacitor over-current]

Why are capacitors not subject to overload?

Capacitors of today have very small losses and are therefore not subject to overload due to heating caused by overcurrent in the circuit. Overload of capacitors are today mainly caused by overvoltages. It is the total peak voltage, the fundamental and the harmonic voltages together, that can cause overload of the capacitors.

What causes overvoltage in a capacitor unit?

Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses. Faulty elements in a capacitor unit are disconnected by the internal fuses. This causes overvoltages across the healthy capacitor units. The capacitor units are designed to withstand 110% of the rated voltage continuously.

What happens if a capacitor bank fails?

When capacitor units in a capacitor bank fail, the amount of increase in voltage across the remaining units depends on the connection of the bank, the number of series groups of capacitors per phase, the number of units in each series group, and the number of units removed from one series group.

Can 'all-turn-off' guarantee a capacitor voltage little change?

After 1.67 ms, protection switch Q1 is turned off. Compared with the results of ‘all-turn-off’, the proposed method can guarantee the capacitor voltage little change. The rapid current change will be caused by position fault for field-oriented control (FOC). Figs. 13a and b show the experimental results of over-current caused by position fault.

Should a current limiting resistor be added before a capacitor?

Adding a current-limiting resistor before the capacitor is not suitable for me, because of the load-dependent voltage drop - the load, of course, will look smaller once the capacitor has charged at the maximum current of about 2 A. Maybe there is a simple circuit to temporarily enable a current-limiting resistor? Or another simple solution? ADDED.

What happens if a capacitor is faulty?

The capacitor units are designed to withstand 110% of the rated voltage continuously. If this level is exceeded, or if the faulty units capacitance have decreased below 5/6 of the nominal value, the capacitor bank must be taken out of service.
