Advanced motor control with PFC means more efficient home appliances
nancy!
Power factor correction (PFC) results in greater power grid efficiency because it enables systems to smooth out the power they draw. This results in systems only drawing the power they need, reducing the occurence of unexpected spikes. Consequently, power companies do not need to produce extra power...
