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 in ...
1. Power-factor triangle relates the real power, the reactive power, and the apparent power. (Courtesy of Vector Group) Let’s start by talking about the concept of power factor (PF). Assuming ...
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 ...
Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
