Long gone are the days when only engineers that worked with large electric motors and high power electric loads need worry about power factor. The introduction of switching power supplies into ...
Linear Technology Corporation’s LT3798 is an isolated flyback controller with single stage active power factor correction (PFC). Efficiencies greater than 86% can be achieved with output power levels ...
Why is Power Factor important? The phase relationship between the ac-power-line voltage and current is related by a term called power factor. For a purely resistive load on the power line, voltage and ...
