Power factor correction (PFC) converters are critical components in modern power electronics, designed to improve the efficiency and quality of power distribution by minimising harmonic distortion in ...

As more electrically-powered devices are connected to the grid, the increased distortion to the electric grid can create problems in the electrical distribution network. So, power supply designs ...

To develop offline power supplies that use PFC (power-factor correction), you must first understand the meaning of PFC and the regulations that surround the design of offline power supplies. PFC ...

Researchers develop a sensorless boost PFC method delivering near 0.9998 power factor and low distortion, enabling smaller and more reliable power supplies for consumer electronics. Single-phase power ...

International Rectifier introduces what is reportedly the industry’s first IC to integrate power factor correction (PFC) and ballast control into a single compact 8-pin SO-8 package. International ...

Greetings from Houston, Texas, the oil-rich city of paradox where the art car movement was born. Houston also is where the 2022 APEC power technology conference was held in-person for the first time ...
