Power Factor (PF) is a measure of how a load draws power from the source. When the current phasor leads the voltage phasor, PF is leading and when the current phasor lags the voltage phasor, PF 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 ...

Domestic and international efficiency standards and customer demand for energy-sipping electronics are driving today's electronics engineers to make the most power-thrift devices possible. Domestic ...

One “component” in the quest for improved energy efficiency and power quality is the use of active harmonic filter power factor correction (PFC) in switched-mode power supplies (SMPSs) for computing ...

Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) is widely used in today's power supplies. Government regulations and customer requirements must be satisfied when designing these circuits. Increasingly, ...

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 ...

ABSOPULSE Electronics has recently released the PFC 319-D4 Series of IP66-rated AC-DC power supplies with active power factor correction (PFC). The units are designed for heavy-duty applications that ...
