Portable generators have become an essential power solution in modern life. From residential backup power and outdoor activities to construction sites, mobile businesses, and remote operations, they ...

This application note presents a total harmonic distortion (THD) test circuit that uses active noise amplification to eliminate the need for expensive and often ineffective external filters. Abstract: ...

Researchers in Malaysia have published a study of total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction techniques in PV systems and claim to have found an holistic and systematic approach. The paper Advances in ...

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 ...

Designing total-harmonic-distortion (THD) measurement into a system usually involves a notch filter and a broadband ac measurement. The problem with this technique is that it measures both THD and ...

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 ...

A network of sensors has begun providing what may be the first collection of utility customer readings of one critical measure of power quality reaching U.S. homes. Some 1-million plug-in devices ...

Arteche PQ, Inc. has introduced a complete range of active harmonic filters. This new filter product line achieves 5% total harmonic current distortion (THD) by monitoring the flow of harmonic ...
