With energy conservation expected to play a growing role in managing global demand, materials and methods that make better use of existing sources of energy have become increasingly important.

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...

video: Business and industry love squirrel cage induction motors for high speed applications. Power grid Managers detest them, because their power factors under low loads can make a grid unstable. But ...

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 ...

Properties of wide-bandgap materials, with a focus on SiC. How a bridgeless totem-pole topology can help cut losses. A breakdown of the half-bridge inverter topology The efficiency of power-conversion ...

The power factor measurement has long been accepted as an invaluable tool for identifying insulation defects, such as ageing, deterioration, moisture ingress and localized failures, involving the ...
