Product description: A Power Factor Correction (PFC) inductor is used to improve the power factor in electrical systems, particularly in AC circuits.
Here's the PFC toroidal inductorsoperates:
Purpose: The main goal of a PFC inductor is to reduce reactive power in the system, improving the overall efficiency of power delivery and reducing losses.
Inductive Reactance: When an AC current passes through the inductor, it creates a magnetic field. The inductor opposes changes in current due to its inductive reactance, which helps manage the phase difference between voltage and current.
Phase Alignment: By adding a PFC inductor, the current waveform can be adjusted to align more closely with the voltage waveform. This alignment reduces the phase difference, thus improving the power factor.
Energy Storage: The inductor stores energy in its magnetic field when current flows through it. This stored energy is then released back into the circuit, helping to smooth out current fluctuations.
ApAplications: Used in industrial power systems, switching power supplies and grid systems.
