The Advantages of AVEOX’s Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) & EMI Filters
AVEOX Integrates Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) Technology into Power Converters
By leveraging advanced APFC technology, the current drawn by the device is synchronized with the voltage in the circuit.
Why APFC Matters
Synchronizing current with voltage enhances overall system performance, resulting in:
- Improved power quality
- Reduced harmonic distortion
- Less energy losses
- Boosts overall efficiency
How APFC Works
Unlike passive correction, which uses static capacitors or inductor-capacitor circuits, APFC actively adapts the current to varying load conditions.
- A switching converter reshapes distorted current waveforms into smooth sine waves
- Voltage and other parameters are dynamically adjusted for optimal performance
- Harmonics are shifted to the switching frequency, making them easy to filter out
- Ensures compliance with RTCA DO-160, Section 16
AVEOX EMI Filters Complement APFC
Combining EMI filters with APFC protects sensitive electronics in the system by dampening electromagnetic interference. This not only improves reliability but also ensures consistent power quality and compliance with demanding industry standards.
