The FAN7529 is an active power factor correction (PFC) controller for the boost PFC application that operates in the critical conduction mode (CRM). The critical conduction mode boost power factor ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
