Power converter designers compete to minimise losses, chasing the last decimal points of efficiency, η, the ratio of output to input power. But when it comes to calculating efficiency in AC-DC power supplies mistakes are often made as a result of omitting or improperly measuring power factor, which is why it is important for designers to understand power factor basics and how to incorporate it.
