Xiao Wang @xiaowang1984.bsky.social · 11/12/2024But yeah I think for AC DC conversion circuits a lot of them are now using active (power factor correction) PFC and I can't imagine large loads not having some sort of PFC. Even your laptop charger has circuitry like that. 110
Kyri Baker @kyrib.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Definitely, but how much? Just a ton of cap banks to cancel out hundreds of VAR from the motors? 100
Xiao Wang @xiaowang1984.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I would imagine they could do some pretty sophisticated things using inverters. I definitely saw harmonic cancellation inverters which were sort of like STATCOMs. For the lower power AC-DC side, you have stuff like this too. toshiba.semicon-storage.com/info/docget....toshiba.semicon-storage.com 110
