EMC for 2 to 150 kHz: A Proposal for Emission and Immunity of Equipment including Power-Line Communication
Published by Anders Larsson and Math Bollen, ELFORSK, Elforsk rapport 09:29, October 2008 Summary The frequency range from 2 to 150 kHz is not sufficiently covered in international standards. The contrast with the frequency range below 2 kHz is striking. There have traditionally been good reasons to emphasize on the lower frequency range, where theContinue reading “EMC for 2 to 150 kHz: A Proposal for Emission and Immunity of Equipment including Power-Line Communication”
Harmonic Issues Related to Power Factor Correction
Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: Harmonic Issues Related to Power Factor Correction, Document ID: PQS0604, Date: April 1, 2006. Abstract: Power factor correction is an important facet of power quality. Capacitors may be installed on customer systems to minimize charges for poor power factor on their electric bill. These installations may create problemsContinue reading “Harmonic Issues Related to Power Factor Correction”
Power Factor Correction – Estimating Financial Savings
Published by Electrotek Concepts, Inc., PQSoft Case Study: Power Factor Correction – Estimating Financial Savings, Document ID: PQS0601, Date: January 1, 2006. Abstract: Low power factor means that you are using a facility’s electrical system inefficiently. It can also cause equipment overloads, low voltage conditions, and greater line losses. Most importantly, low power factor can increaseContinue reading “Power Factor Correction – Estimating Financial Savings”
