If you operate electric motors in your manufacturing facility, you may be paying for wasted power. The power factor of your electrical system gives the amount of productive power your facility is ...

The sole definition of power factor correction is defined as the real power to apparent power. The definition of real power is the average over a cycle of the instantaneous product of current and the ...

You'll presumably pay a lot more in power utility bills if you're charged for so-called “reactive power” as an industrial customer who uses banks of “uncompensated” motor loads facing the AC mains.

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

Next-generation module optimizes utilization of electrical power for medical devices, unmanned aerial and terranean vehicles and a wide range of industrial applications DENVER--(BUSINESS ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Your utility Power Factor is the ratio of the system’s Real Power and the Apparent Power (Eq. 1, Fig. 1). This unitless factor ranges from −1 to 1. The Power Factor ratio aptly describes the type of ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced that its HiperPFS™-4 power ...

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 ...

The best part about post-mortem teardowns of electronics is when you discover some unusual design features, whether or not these are related to the original fault. In the case of a recent ...
