Purpose of Power Factor Correction

Purpose of Power Factor Correction

The purpose of power factor correction is to condition the line current. To condition simply means making the line current smooth by filtering the spikes and any irregularities in the waveform. A smoother line current will have low power loss.…

EMI is the hardest thing to deal in switching power supply design. There are several factors that worsen EMI and there are also some ways to minimize EMI and able to pass the standards. One of the several ways to…
Snubber Circuit Design Analysis

Snubber Circuit Design Analysis

What is a Snubber? Snubber is a form of circuit protection against voltage spikes, ringing and oscillation effects. Snubber works by either clamping voltage spikes but not altering the ringing frequency or does the same function. Snubber Circuit Design is…
