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 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 ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

• Electrical power sources supply two types of power to inductive loads: real power in kW and reactive power in VAR. • Power-factor correction circuits can be either an individual style or of the bank ...

TDK Corporation extended its portfolio of EPCOS film capacitors for dc link applications with the B3277*X/Y/Z series. The new capacitors feature compact dimensions, high capacitance density, and high ...

EPCOS has developed an especially rugged new series of power factor correction (PFC) capacitors. They are based on MKV technology and are distinguished by their high temperature tolerance and long ...

How often are homeowners approached by a salesperson at the doorstep selling a device that can go in a wall and supposedly save energy or reduce the monthly electricity bill substantially? The ...

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, ...

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 ...

Lifetime is up to 240,000 hours in temperature class -40/D, the terminals are class IP20 touch-proof, and ceramic-based discharge resistors are pre-mounted. Operated is possible at 60°C for short ...
