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 ...

Howdy guys - I have an XPA-2 amp hooked up to a pair of B&W683's and am curious how many watts (in real time) I am using. I am not worried about over driving the speakers or worried that the amp is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soft-recovery diodes greatly reduce EMI. Switching power supplies have become the norm in almost all electronic systems. The switchers' excellent line and load regulation, high conversion efficiency, ...
