Eltwin leads the change in electrical innovation with the integration of three-phase active power factor correction (PFC) technology in motor drives.
This advanced approach not only enhances efficiency but also aligns with Eltwin's commitment to pioneering sustainable solutions. Let's explore together the main advantages of active vs passive PFC.
Active vs. passive PFC?
Technical Key Account Manager Ruben Sanchez, explore the main advantages of active vs passive PFC.
Efficiency
Active PFC dynamically adjusts the power factor by actively controlling the input current waveform. Unlike passive PFC, which merely absorbs high order harmonics, active PFC ensures that the load draws power efficiently from the grid. This efficiency translates to reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs.
Compact Design and Reduced Weight
Active PFC systems use electronic components to regulate the power factor. These components are not only compact but also significantly lighter than the bulky inductors and capacitors used in passive filtering. The avoidance of these bulky passive components contributes to a more streamlined and lightweight system design.
Improved Power Quality
Active PFC mitigates harmonics and reduces distortion in the current waveform. By maintaining a near-unity power factor, it ensures a cleaner power supply. This is crucial since the trend in power quality standards points toward stricter requirements for harmonic distortion compliance.

Compliance with Standards
Active PFC aligns with international standards that mandate high power factor values. Compliance with these standards is essential for manufacturers seeking global market acceptance.
Dynamic Response
Active PFC adapts swiftly to load changes, ensuring stable performance even during varying operating conditions. It responds to fluctuations in load demand, maintaining optimal power factor and minimizing reactive power losses.
Eltwin's adoption of active PFC technology in three-phase drives marks a significant leap forward in motor drive performance and energy conservation.
