If you operate electric motors in your manufacturing facility, you may be paying for wasted power. The power factor of your electrical system gives the amount of productive power your facility is ...

Power factor correction is a frequently misunderstood topic. Improper techniques can result in over-correction, under-correction, and/or harmonic resonance, so it can be helpful to understand the ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you've seen an Internet ad for capacitor-type power factor correction devices, you might be led to believe that using one can save you money on your residential electricity bill. However, ...

The world is moving toward greater use of power factor correction (PFC). Wild, Charles, Precision, Inc. - Excessive use of electricity and poor efficiencies are no longer acceptable. Eliminating poor ...

Electric motor power efficiency has taken center stage. Individuals, corporations, and governments are increasingly interested in saving power, now that technology can make it possible and economy ...

Linear Technology Corporation’s LT3798 is an isolated flyback controller with single stage active power factor correction (PFC). Efficiencies greater than 86% can be achieved with output power levels ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Toshiba is aiming at 60kHz power factor correction stages with a 650V 60A reduced switching loss IGBT. “Using previous generation IGBTs, the PFC stage of air conditioners would have an operating ...
