Important Notes Regarding Power Factor Correction Devices

Without a power correction device filter, power transmission efficiency will significantly decrease over time during long-term operation. Increased reactive power within the power supply leads to unstable current waveforms, exacerbating heat buildup and causing equipment overload, frequent damage, and energy waste. Furthermore, with load changes, the output current waveform of a poor-quality power supply will become further distorted, resulting in a lower power factor and impacting the overall stability of the power system.

A power factor correction device industrial filter is used to reduce grid interference and internal losses in the power module by ensuring the input current and voltage are in phase and suppressing higher harmonics.

Without a proper power factor device filter implementation within the power supply, the rectifier bridge and downstream filters will bear a greater reactive load, forcing components to operate in high-temperature or more complex electromagnetic interference environments, shortening their lifespan and increasing the risk of failure.
