Considerations Regarding the Relationship between Power Factor and Harmonic Distortions of Switched Mode Power Supplies

The main goal of this paper is to present some experimental results regarding power factor (PF) and current total harmonic distortions (THDi) of some very common loads on low voltage a.c. lines i.e. the power supply of computers, monitors and TV sets. The causes of some unexpected values are investi...
