Tesla Coils, High Voltage and Electronics
Capacitor discharges of highly destructive energy is released into electronics for spectacular explosions, filmed in slow motion!
A pulse discharge with a peak current of 50,000 Ampere is send through a Nokia 6230 mobile phone. A mobile phone from the era of indestructible handsets, a piece of electronics that would never let you down and yet here …
This is a Merlin Gerin Masterpact M16N1 Circuit Breaker rated at 1600A/690VAC (Roughly 1.9MW 3-phase energy!) here is it tested against a C10A 1P+N MCB to withstand a 50kA short-circuit current from a 2500uF/2kV energy discharge capacitor! The capacitor used …
