PFC

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004253

A technique used to improve the power factor of an electrical load, making it appear more resistive to the power supply. This reduces reactive power consumption and improves the efficiency of the electrical system. Active PFC circuits are common in modern electronic devices to meet regulatory standards.
