We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Power Factor Correction",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Capacitor stored electricity discharged safely from
Seaward Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Portable, self-contained safe discharge device protects the operator while safely discharging high power capacitors used for power factor correction and energy storage
applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Power supplies with a dedicated single +12V rail from
Corsair: "The Corsair TX Series of power supplies has been launched with a dedicated single +12V rail and maximum compatibility with the latest system components".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Astec Power
concerning its 350-Watt bulk AC-DC switching power supplies
- take a look at 350-Watt bulk AC-DC switching power supplies
which says: "The Astec NTS Series family of 350-Watt bulk AC-DC switching power supplies has been extended to include 24V output configurations and is available from Emerson Network Power".
Take a look also at the news release from Astec Power, 350-Watt bulk AC-DC switching power supplies,
as well as Protected high-voltage integrated circuit from International Rectifier,
and Online guide on power factor correction from Jackson Switchgear.
