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 ...

How often are homeowners approached by a salesperson at the doorstep selling a device that can go in a wall and supposedly save energy or reduce the monthly electricity bill substantially? The ...

AC/DC power-factor correction (PFC) rectifiers are hugely benefitting from GaN FETs. They have very simple topologies; The inductor is the only magnetic part and this is usually a constant-frequency ...

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 ...

Your utility Power Factor is the ratio of the system’s Real Power and the Apparent Power (Eq. 1, Fig. 1). This unitless factor ranges from −1 to 1. The Power Factor ratio aptly describes the type of ...
