Power Factor Correction Devices: A Key Performance Indicator In Electronic Device Design

power factor device is a key performance indicator (KPI) for electronic equipment design. It reflects the ratio of active power to apparent power transmitted by the equipment in the power grid, affecting power supply capacity configuration, harmonic emission limits, and heat loss assessment. During the design phase, power factor improvement device parameters need to be incorporated into circuit topology, control strategies, and EMC verification as a quantitative basis for component selection, heat dissipation, and capacity budgeting. This, in turn, supports energy efficiency and compliance assessments and guides the formulation and verification of system-level performance targets.
