Providing power electronics design engineers with a convenient means of adding boost-type power factor correction to their switching power supplies, TT electronics BI Technologies offers a series of ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

The phrase power factor frequently is used in the electrical and power electronics industry. For example, home, office, and industrial electrical equipment often is fitted with power factor-corrected ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...

The relevant standard most power-supply designers follow for power factor correction (PFC) is the European norm EN61000-3-2. This applies to most off-line The relevant standard most power-supply ...

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 ...
