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 ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

Many loads are mainly resistive; thus, they’re rated in watts (i.e., true power). Simply stated, these loads have a very small reactive component, which means an apparent power rating (VA) would not ...

The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...
