Power Factor Correction

Doing a research about coil to use into my latest coil project. In my circuit design that I would like to create, I would like to use the Power factor correction as my reference which actually I need more research about it because I could not really understand it on how it will be functioning to my circuit diagram. Below are my specs in transformer using the Power factor correction.

• 240V to 120 V at 60 Hz    
• Single-phase 
•  Isolated 
• Low coupling 
• Single primary, dual secondaries

And my expected layouts to choose from are among on these 3 designs.

I was thinking also to use the 018 series, which is a family of passive Power Factor Correction (PFC) coils that includes both in sealed. The 018 series includes a line-up of nine (9) models that have different current rating ranging from 1 – 18 A. If you don’t have any idea about it then see the features of this 018 series for you to check.

• Sealed and open frame
• Laminated core type
• Low audible noise
• Compact and reliable PFC coils
• PVC leads and faston connection
• Specially designed to increase the power factor and reduce THD while maintaining low temperature rise during operation
• Low power losses to extend operational lifetime
