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 ...

Power factor correction is a frequently misunderstood topic. Improper techniques can result in over-correction, under-correction, and/or harmonic resonance, so it can be helpful to understand the ...

TDK Corporation recently introduced DeltaCap X Black Premium—a new series of EPCOS MKD capacitors for power factor correction (PFC). Capacitors in the series have rated voltages between 440 and 850 V ...

If you operate electric motors in your manufacturing facility, you may be paying for wasted power. The power factor of your electrical system gives the amount of productive power your facility is ...

TDK’s B3277*X/Y/Z series of film capacitors is designed for rated voltages between 500 and 1200 V dc. TDK Corporation extended its portfolio of EPCOS film capacitors for dc link applications with the ...

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 ...

Power factor correction (PFC) is among the most sought features that clients look for in choosing power supplies since it plays a huge role in the over-all efficiency of the device. This document ...

If you've seen an Internet ad for capacitor-type power factor correction devices, you might be led to believe that using one can save you money on your residential electricity bill. However, ...
