onsemi: Bring Your Energy System Innovations to Life

Get Your Free eBook: Mastering Power Factor Correction

As global electrification grows, engineers are transforming mobility and energy systems with innovative technologies in EV charging, energy storage, and smart automation. This hub gathers the latest solutions from onsemi and Future Electronics to help designers build efficient, future-ready power systems.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) has become crucial for applications from EV charging to industrial automation and renewable energy. To help designers tackle these challenges, we offer Mastering Power Factor Correction: From Fundamentals to Vienna Rectifiers, a comprehensive eBook that deepens understanding and guides design decisions. 

This eBook covers the basics of real, reactive, and apparent power, and explores advanced PFC architectures. It explains key concepts like waveform distortion, topology selection, digital control, and simulation-driven design, helping you make informed choices for both single-phase and three-phase power platforms. 

What this eBook will bring you 

You’ll gain a deeper, more practical understanding of: 

  • How poor PF impacts system losses, bus stability, and grid loading
  • When to choose boost, totem pole, multilevel, Vienna, or six switch topologies
  • The tradeoffs between simplicity, efficiency, cost, and power density
  • How digital control (including dq0 transformation and multiloop regulation) enables near unity PF
  • How simulation tools help validate stability, losses, and performance before hardware build

By combining theory with real engineering insight, the eBook equips you to design more efficient, more reliable, and more future ready power systems.

Watch the on demand webinar recording to deepen your understanding of Power Factor Correction (PFC) for single phase and three phase AC networks.
