ON Semiconductor introduced the NCP1901, an integrated circuit that combines both a power factor correction (PFC) controller and a resonant half-bridge controller in a single package. The high level ...

Front end topology and some tips to design a mixed bridge circuit that effectively protects the design from an overvoltage. A robust solution using a new SCR generation and front end topologies that ...

The FAN7529 is an active power factor correction (PFC) controller for the boost PFC application that operates in the critical conduction mode (CRM). The critical conduction mode boost power factor ...

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

• Electrical power sources supply two types of power to inductive loads: real power in kW and reactive power in VAR. • Power-factor correction circuits can be either an individual style or of the bank ...

SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...

At $3,000, the McIntosh MIP200 Power Controller offers power protection and peach of mind for up to 8 audio components. If you are investing in rather expensive high-end audio components, power ...

Motors and generators are critical components of electrical systems. They are used to automate numerous industrial processes, circulate liquids for cooling and lubrication purposes, and generate ...

The power factor measurement has long been accepted as an invaluable tool for identifying insulation defects, such as ageing, deterioration, moisture ingress and localized failures, involving the ...
