  • At turn on, these things feed huge capacitances as well, since the clocks and digital logic need really clean DC voltages with minimal ringing and noise.

  • Equivalent connection diagram of the capacitances of - a three-phase overhead line, CL conductor-conductor capacitance, CE conductor-earth capacitance

    4. Power transmission and distribution in power supply systems Frank Ponemunski 1991

  • I went quickly to the controls and overrode the order about altitude-I was afraid that the simple little robot might have a nervous breakdown and start shedding capacitances in lieu of tears if it tried to hold the ship just eight hundred feet away from that Gargantuan series of ups and downs and pinnacles.

    The Past Through Tomorrow Heinlein, Robert A. 1967

  • It allows the engineer to visualize the flow of heat and the storage of thermal energy, and specify key temperatures by selection of materials and geometries that vary the network thermal resistances (conduction, convection and radiation) and capacitances.

  • Being able to model this system as a network of thermal resistances and capacitances, just like an electrical circuit, is a powerful design tool.
