EXPANSIA announced today that it, JHNA, and CTSi are merging to form a new defense technology platform. This new Cahill partners with Munch's Supply for their VMI program to stock plumbing and sewer ...

Power Integrations announced its HiperPFSTM-3 family of power factor correction ICs, which offer high power factor and high efficiency across the entire load range. Targeting applications with ...

Let's look at key formulas that are the building blocks for the transfer of electricity: real and reactive power transfer formulas and their basics. The power triangle represents an essential building ...

• 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 ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...
