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 ...

This is probably fairly straightforward for an EE to weigh in on so I thought I’d post this question here for posterity in the hopes that it’ll solve the issue for other designers. The challenge is ...

While passive precharge employs a power resistor to create an RC circuit that charges the capacitor asymptotically, active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses ...
