The topic of this paper is the development of guidelines for the practical application of a new power module realizing a bridge leg of a three-phase/switch/level ...

Power factor correction is a frequently misunderstood topic. Improper techniques can result in over-correction, under-correction, and/or harmonic resonance, so it can be helpful to understand the ...

Two related phenomena, both called “power factor,” cause problems on electrical power lines. In each case, the ac current being drawn by the load is not exactly synchronized with the ac voltage on the ...

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 ...

All things related to power factor and power-factor correction. How it arises, the problems it causes, regulations old and new, and how to mitigate it. There’s a tendency to think of energy on the ...
