* Question
| Why do capacitor applications have to be accompanied by Resistorss? |
* Answer
| A capacitor is an energy storage component that, when connected to a voltage source, can be charged to the highest voltage of the power supply and store the charge at the rated capacity of the capacitor.Such large currents can cause sparks around them, which can lead to ignition in the atmosphere.Therefore, it is clear from the above discussion that a current limiting Resistors (CLR) must be placed in series with the capacitor so as not to violate the ignition current at a particular voltage specified by intrinsic safety standards. |
