What is the power factor correction? Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique used to improve the power factor of an electrical system. Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used. It is defined as the ratio of real power (measured in kilowatts, kW) used to perform work to the apparent power (measured in kilovolt-amperes, kVA) drawn from the power source. Power ...
What is harmonic and how to manage it? Harmonics denote electrical quantities that possess frequencies which are integer multiples of the fundamental wave present in the current. This concept typically involves the Fourier series decomposition of periodic, non-sinusoidal electrical quantities. In this context, any electrical quantity with a frequency exceeding that of the fundamental wave, derived...
