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 (PFC) converters play a pivotal role in modern power electronics by ensuring an optimised alignment between the input current and the supply voltage. This alignment enhances ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...
