Prof. Yaakov is one of the few professors who is consistently working and publishing papers in pure power electronics. Hats off to you Sir. Many have drifted to other domains.

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for the kind note.

[@bobby9568]

The #1 Professor of Power Electronics! Amazing as always!

[@sambenyaakov]

Wow😊. Thanks

[@user-kv3mu4fu8t]

Your video lecture is really helpful for me. Thank you. - from an power electronics engineer in south korea.

[@sambenyaakov]

Happy to hear that, Thanks for note.

Muchas Gracias Querido Sam Ben !!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks

I suppose that at sufficiently low frequencies the limiting factor becomes the dielectric breakdown voltage. Can we speak of a typical frequency when that happens ? And if so, what is its value/range ?

[@sambenyaakov]

V and I are two independent limits , At low frequency V is the limit. At high I.

[@SergiuCosminViorel]

impressive! and beyond my level. why they don't make simple capacitors, simple behaviour? i never delved deep in this... years ago i tried a voltage multiplier, on maybe 1kHz, maybe 20kHz, i do not remember well, but it was not 100kHz, and it fumegated. tried with electrolitics, and the variations on the last capacitor were in 100V range. i understood there may be some problems, but i did not imagine how big. and at that time, it was no experience gained. as i said, not much thought into it. thanks for the presentation!

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for sharing. Things are less mysterious once you understand the fundamentals

Hi sir could please make video on average model of peak current mode Active clamp forward converter

[@shamkumar730]

Thank you Professor...can you please make a video on how to simulate switched capacitor filter in LTSpice..

[@sambenyaakov]

Good subject. Will try. Look up for our papers on average modeling of switched caps converters.

[@shamkumar730]

Sure..thank you..

@8:45, how is 1/I(B2) plot the impedance, not the ESR?

[@sambenyaakov]

Since the excitation is 1V, 1/I is Z. At resonance it is equal to ESR.

[@h7qvi]

Make a VCO using these capacitors

[@sambenyaakov]

Good idea. WE have uses it to control resonant converters.
