How to design a ballast for integrated ballasts in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that provide power factor correction (PFC) as well as normal ballast functions. The ballasts used in integrated ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

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 ...
