Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of ...

Researchers have proposed a new way to control power factor correction circuits that could lead to sensorless power control.

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 ...

Santa Clara, Calif.—Qspeed Semiconductor has introduced its Q-Series rectifier family designed for use in power factor correction (PFC) circuits that deliver from 200-W to 1000-W of power. Replacing ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Mains-connected boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits are employed in order to meet EMI standards. The EMI filter together with the boost inductor has to attenuate the High Frequency (HF) ...

Most applications that use power factor correction (PFC) are mandated by regulatory requirements like the IEC1000-3-2 harmonic reduction requirement in force since January 1, 2001. The regulation ...

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 ...
