Power factor correction capacitors can reduce your energy costs by avoiding the premium rates electric utilities charge when your power factor falls below specified values.

The power factor tells you how much less power they are producing. For example, a power factor of 0.8 means your motor is only using 80 percent of the maximum available power.

However, you can't indiscriminately add power factor correction capacitors to a system without understanding how their presence will affect the system. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for motors, DC ...

All things related to power factor and power-factor correction. How it arises, the problems it causes, regulations old and new, and how to mitigate it.

An inherent problem with inductive loads is that they lead to poor PFs that degrade overall system-operating efficiency. When applied correctly, power-factor-correction (PFC) systems can eliminate ...

There’s an increasing need for high-efficiency power conversion for a wide range of applications. Among the several available power factor correction (PFC) solutions, the critical conduction mode (CrM ...

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 ...

Power-factor correction allows the input current to continuously flow, reduces the peak input current, and reduces the energy loss in the power supply, thus improving its operation efficiency.

TDK Corporation presents the new EPCOS TSM-LC-N690 thyristor module for power factor correction (PFC) with an expanded operating voltage range up to 690 V AC.

TDK-Lambda has introduced a full brick power factor correction module capable of offering the input ac a 0.98 power factor while providing up to 1.5kW at a regulated (non-isolated) 360Vdc. Called ...
