What does CD stand for?

Before each measurement, the capacitor discharges to 0V.

The bike is equipped with a throttle-actuated ignition control system and a chip-controlled digital capacitor discharge ignition system.

Permanent magnets are usually magnetized in a fixture comprising an electromagnet driven by a capacitor discharge circuit, iron former and the un-magnetized material.

List of possible applications include solar inverters, automatic voltage regulators, industrial battery chargers, wind turbine inverters, capacitor discharge circuits, electronic circuit breakers, resonant power conversion circuits, induction heating for industrial processing, uninterruptible power supplies, motor drives, switch-mode power supplies, power factor correction circuits and welding machines.

Capacitor discharge is used in hybrid sports cars and only provides power for short bursts during initial take off and during rapid acceleration.

These new IGBTs offer a cost effective alternative to MOSFETs for power conversion and capacitor discharge applications.

Automated Test Equipment generating or measuring high voltage, pulse circuits and capacitor discharge applications, high voltage power supplies, laser and x-ray generation systems can all be designed more simply, with reduced cost and complexity.

The Model 5054 from Berkeley Nucleonics provides multiple firing channels that provide all-fire, no-fire, resistance measurement, AC or DC current, capacitor discharge, Bruceton, Neyer, high current and thermal time constant tasks.
