I have a network device that runs on a power supply rated at 48v about 1.2a. it plugs into a 120v diy ups (a power switcher from an rv with a battery and an inverter). This seems to work fine on other devices but with this particular device when the power switches to the inverter, the device resets.

Customer ServiceIf you are using a capacitor to power something, then you must treat it similarly: It doesn''t matter if your capacitor is truly dead when it''s 0V if whatever you''re powering requires at least 3V. Elliott''s answer explains the physics, but to answer the "applications" question about how much time your circuit will run, more information is required.

Customer ServiceFor example, when there''s a mains power outage or when batteries are being swapped out. However, supercapacitors introduce design challenges because each device can only provide up to 2.7 volts. That potentially means multiple supercapacitors are needed—each with associated cell balancing and step-up (boost) or step-down (buck) voltage

Customer ServiceThere are many reasons why a capacitor can burn out. The most common reason is because of an electrical surge. This can happen if there is a power outage or if the power supply to the capacitor is interrupted. Other causes of capacitors burning out include, but are not limited to: overheating, excessive current, voltage spikes.
Customer ServiceII. General safety rules Since power capacitors are electrical energy storage devices, they must always be handled with caution. Even after being turned off for a relatively long period of time,
Customer ServiceA typical hold-up time is the time a power supply takes to reduce from 100 percent to 90 percent of its rated output when a power outage or a supply fluctuation occurs. The general requirement is at least 16ms to allow sufficient time for UPS to take over. The hold-up time is usually specified by the manufacturer and ranges from 15 milliseconds
Customer ServiceWhat Is the Difference Between Series Capacitor and Shunt Capacitor. There are several differences between series and shunt capacitors; however, the most significant one is in the improvement of power load. Shunt capacitors help ease the lag between the current and voltage that occurs after an inductive load to the transmission line.

Customer ServiceYour PSU will retain an electric charge post-power outage. When the power returns, that charge can get added to the new charge, and go past the original spec. You want to discharge anything which may be lingering there. Part of the reason for this is your PSU is converting a relatively small about of A/C to D/C
Customer ServiceII. General safety rules Since power capacitors are electrical energy storage devices, they must always be handled with caution.

Customer ServiceAn Arduino Uno that is driving no significant load takes around 45mA, so if your power supply is 9v and you detect power outage at 8v across the capacitor, with a 1000uF capacitor you have around 40ms before the voltage has dropped to 6v. If you are running from 12v and detect power outage at 10v, you have twice as much time. Thankyou, this is exactly

Customer ServiceEvery capacitor has an intrinsic loss, and this is often expressed as an ESR. Power dissipated in a capacitor can be expressed as I^2*R, where I is the ripple current in Amps RMS, and R is the ESR. With higher ripple currents, the loss in the capacitor itself can become significant, and cause self heating of the capacitor. For use in SMPS, special low-ESR

Customer ServiceHere is a typical switched-mode power supply block diagram: A capacitor is placed right after the rectification block to cater for this sudden drop (usually from a main line power outage). In case of a power drop, the capacitor can kick in and maintain power levels for the load until the power comes back. What is Hold-Up Time?
Customer ServiceHowever, if a mains supply is not able to provide enough current for the system and the charging of the supercapacitor, the charging current needs to be limited. Such a mains supply could be, for example, the TPS7A78 AC/DC linear voltage regulator.
When the main supply is present and its voltage is above the minimum threshold system supply voltage, the regulator operates in charging mode and charges the supercapacitor with a maximum 3 A peak, 1.5 A average inductor current. The supercapacitor needs to be fully charged to enable backup operation.
In case of a power drop, the capacitor can kick in and maintain power levels for the load until the power comes back. What is Hold-Up Time? Hold-Up is when the power supply keeps supplying power to load before it drops below the specified voltage level. This voltage level and the corresponding hold-up time differ for different power supplies.
Diodes allow either the primary power source or the supercapacitor to power the system (Figure 5). Figure 5: Using a single supercapacitor in a power backup circuit eliminates the need for cell balancing but requires a step-up regulator to boost the supercapacitor’s output voltage.
If an electronic product is to rely on a supercapacitor for backup power, it is vital that the designer understands how to select the best component for reliable energy storage and delivery, and long life. One of the first things to check on the datasheet is the effect of temperature on capacitance and resistance.
It has been established earlier that switched-mode power supplies use hold-up capacitors to hold the power level above a specific level in case of power cuts. Now to calculate the value of such a capacitor, the supply’s hold-up time is set first. Secondly, the output voltage and current values are to be known to calculate power.
