A special frequency determined by the values of the resistance, capacitance and inductance refers to the resonance in AC circuits. The resonant frequency point occurs where the inductive reactance of ...

You're probably familiar with the old-fashioned strings of holiday lights that go out completely if one bulb burns out. Although these lights cause hours of frustration during the holidays, they also ...

Harmonic distortion is not a problem unless it becomes a problem. Harmonics are a breakdown of a distorted waveform into its separate frequencies, which are integer multiples of the fundamental ...

The quest for higher power and greater efficiency in all power supplies never ends, especially when it comes to all heavy-duty converters. Some examples are power supplies used in data centers, ...

Here’s a step-by-step design of a resonant-coupled inductor employed in a PFC EMI filter that doesn’t impact power factor. Over the past 40 years many of my designs included Power Factor Correction ...

With the current global energy crisis, the focus is on efficiency and electronic products are facing the daunting challenge of delivering high performance, while consuming less power. As a result of ...
