Mica capacitor is of two types. One uses natural minerals and the other uses silver mica as a dielectric. "Clamped capacitor" uses natural minerals as a dielectric. Whereas "Silver mica capacitor" uses silver mica as a dielectric. Clamped mica capacitors are obsolete due to their unwanted characteristics. The mica sheets are sandwiched
DISCHARGE RESISTORS Power capacitors store electrical charges that after their disconnection can turn out to be dangerous for people during operation of inspection and maintenance. To reduce these voltages to safe values, discharge resistors must be used.
A Capacitor Discharge Unit (CDU) is a device used in model railways to power point motors, which are the mechanisms that switch railway track sections. These motors often require a strong, brief pulse of power to operate effectively and the CDU provides that pulse. Here is a simple breakdown of what it does and why it is useful: Storage of Power: The CDU has a capacitor

Abstract—This paper is a detailed explanation of how the current waveform behaves when a capacitor is discharged through a resistor and an inductor creating a series RLC circuit.

The unit incorporates a number of special features to counter the common but unauthorized and highly dangerous practice of discharging high power capacitors with wires or screwdrivers.The instrument uses a long-life battery, and is designed for use in systems and equipment with a maximum voltage of 1,000 Vdc and maximum capacitance
A capacitor discharge unit works by rapidly storing energy in its capacitors, then quickly releasing that energy once it’s triggered. The CDU is triggered by an external control device, like a timer or a switch. Once the external control device is activated, the stored energy is released into the circuit, resulting in a powerful surge of current.
A Capacitor Discharge Unit (CDU) overcomes all these problems. CDUs supply a high current to the solenoid for a very brief period of time. This current burst is complete by the time the switch contacts open, so the contacts are opening with no current flow through them and hence there is no spark and no contact damage.
The benefits of using a capacitor discharge unit are numerous. For starters, they’re incredibly efficient at storing and delivering energy, resulting in less energy wastage. They’re also very reliable and provide a consistent, repeatable surge of current.
The switch is used to trigger the discharge of the stored energy. When you’re working with a capacitor discharge unit, it’s important to understand the circuit diagram. This diagram outlines the electrical flow of the components, allowing you to visualize the entire system.
Capacitors used in firing sets and other high discharge current applications are discharge tested to verify performance of the capacitor against the application requirements.
It is important to note that from the instant the capacitor starts discharging, it is losing charge and therefore losing voltage since the potential across the capacitor is proportional to the charge stored in it.
