In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

This paper provides details of MOSFET switching action in applications with clamped inductive load, when used as a secondary synchronous rectifier, and driving pulse/gate drive transformers. Potential ...

A PQ expert can link an abnormal current or voltage waveform to an abnormal condition on a power system just as a handwriting expert matches a signature to a person. Many facilities now have online ...

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

This article presents the use of PFC (Power Factor Correction) techniques as a means of improving power efficiency. This document briefly discusses the challenges of improving efficiency and its ...
