While applications for 1-Phase PFC are now familiar and prevalent, the same is not the case with 3-Phase PFC. Many equipments using kilowatts of power from 3-Phase mains should be candidates of ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

The need for the current waveform to track the voltage on a three-phase power system leads to a second set of requirements, in addition to those for a single-phase power factor correction (PFC) system ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management. Understanding the trade-offs between Delta and Wye connections enables ...

In the quest for more power efficient data centers, is there any trend in the US to move to 240V/415V three phase power distribution in the data center racks? (or 230V/400V) I would not expect the ...
