The 106-page, First Edition of Darnell Group's in-depth analysis of "Power
Factor Correction: Potential Market Forecasts, Application Trends &
Competitive Environment" provides a detailed examination of the trends driving
the adoption and utilization of power factor correction (PFC) in a wide
variety of application systems.
Power factor correction (PFC) has been implemented for some time and is highly
driven by regulations. It got a boost in power supplies in 2001, when the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61000-3-2 went into
effect in Europe. This specification required new electronic equipment
consuming more than 75W to meet certain standards for harmonic content, which
basically required the use of PFC. Britain, Japan and China soon adopted
similar standards, and any company selling equipment into these regions needed
to meet these requirements. No similar requirements hae gone into effect for
North America, although PFC can help power supply manufacturers meet current
North American energy efficiency standards.
