X- and Y-capacitors are generally used to filter AC power-source electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and are sometimes called security capacitors. Here’s a detailed view of those capacitors, associated design practices and regulatory requirements, and profile of supporting energy ICs. Invoice Schweber additionally offers a sneak peek into how they function in AC energy line circuits.
