Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

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 ...

Providing modern electronic devices with a diet of healthy power is not straightforward. Small AC-connected equipment often uses a capacitor-input filter following a half- or full-wave rectifier.
