Up to now, this series has primarily discussed the DC specifications of an ADC. Now, we will talk about AC specifications like distortion and noise in the ADC. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is, as ...

The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

Many continuous-conduction-mode PFC controllers use a nonisolated boost topology with average current-mode control. Examples of such controllers are the UC1852, UC1854/UC1854A/UC1854B family and the ...

This article is part of a multi-part series on how to identify, monitor, diagnose, and deal with harmonics in electrical power systems. Last month’s article discussed how to determine if current ...

Harmonic is one of the most important concepts on the power system that cannot be neglected since it can affect the power quality and operation of equipment. High levels of Harmonics in the system may ...
