Development of the educational database on three-phase power factor correctors

Three-phase power factor correctors exist in a wide variety. A large step in improving the education on this important field is accomplished by integrating a detailed cognitive part (all circuit structures, basic properties, operation) and a practical part (mathematical analysis, structural synthesis, design, simulation) into an Microsoftcopy Accessreg database environment. The data base exhibits the opportunity to select by query the corresponding topologies and circuits of pre-defined properties, and to have full access to the original publications of all included circuits and the variations and improvements. Selecting the most suitable circuit for a specific demand is supported by integrating standard and advanced power quality factors and numerical parameters on cost and performance. The database allows a favourable overview on power factor correction circuits during learning and also for developers of industrial circuits
