Hello group, As a clarification, I am fully aware of PFC using a boost converter on the input of a power supply with MicroLinear or Unitrode devices. I am also familiar with line reactors, delta-wye transformers, zig-zig transformers, resonant traps and so on. All of these technologies will gi

Hi Doug: Active (as opposed to passive) power factor correction for electronic products is a high-frequency "switching rectifier" (ahead of the switching-mode power supply) which stores energy in an inductor rather than in a capacitor. The current waveform is in phase with the voltage wave

Active Power Factor Correction

1998-11-18 Thread POWELL, DOUG
Hello Colleagues, I have recently learned of a technology whereby harmonic disturbances may be reduced via APFC (Active Power Factor Correction). This is apparently a device that injects cancellation harmonics back onto the line under closed loop control. Is anyone able to point me to any
