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 ...

Industrial and commercial customers constantly scrutinize their monthly electrical usage, looking for ways to save money. Installing power factor correction capacitors can reduce costly penalties ...

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 ...

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 ...

TDK Corporation recently introduced DeltaCap X Black Premium—a new series of EPCOS MKD capacitors for power factor correction (PFC). Capacitors in the series have rated voltages between 440 and 850 V ...

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 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 ...

• 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 ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...

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 ...
