IR's Paul Schimel explains how power factor correction (PFC) allows a piece of electronics to draw higher line power. A good friend of mine in the professional audio business recently said that audio ...

Poor power factor associated with electronic power conversion equipment is caused by nonlinear circuit elements. In most off-line power supplies, the ac/dc front end consists of a bridge rectifier ...

Electric motor power efficiency has taken center stage. Individuals, corporations, and governments are increasingly interested in saving power, now that technology can make it possible and economy ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.

Power factor correction (PFC) converters play a pivotal role in modern power electronics by ensuring an optimised alignment between the input current and the supply voltage. This alignment enhances ...
