The scope of this article is to introduce a method to measure the power factor in a 50 Hz alternating current transient. The circuit shall be a R-L type. By acquiring only the current wave and, ...

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 ...

One “component” in the quest for improved energy efficiency and power quality is the use of active harmonic filter power factor correction (PFC) in switched-mode power supplies (SMPSs) for computing ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...
