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 ...

The BR7000 series of EPCOS power factor controllers from TDK Corporation come in two new types. The BR7000-T power factor controller offers 15 transistor outputs instead of 15 relay outputs. It is ...

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 ...

The need for the current waveform to track the voltage on a three-phase power system leads to a second set of requirements, in addition to those for a single-phase power factor correction (PFC) system ...

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 ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...
