Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

This video shows how HiperPFS-4’s unique light-load filter compensation algorithm corrects for input filter distortion even at loads under 20%, ensuring excellent PF and THD. The HiperPFS-4 family ICs ...

Power Integrations announced its HiperPFSTM-3 family of power factor correction ICs, which offer high power factor and high efficiency across the entire load range. Targeting applications with ...

Acknowledging the potential for emerging problems that the widespread use of electronics could present, the European Union published its Directive 89/336/EEC for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...
