This paper covers the basics of Power Factor Correction and corrects some common misunderstanding with regards to power factor and it’s effects. Power factor (pf) is defined as the ratio of the real ...
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 ...
TT Electronics BI Technologies recently released its Power Factor Corrector (PFC) Evaluation Board, providing a nearly complete PFC front end. The new PFC contains all of the necessary control and ...
Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...
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 ...
