FAQ

Q1. What's PFC? (Power Factor Correction)

ANS:
Power factor is the relationship between working (active) power and total power consumed (apparent power). The ratio of true AC input power to the apparent AC input power.
Essentially, power factor is a measurement of how effectively electrical power is being used.
A higher power factor represents a more effective use of electrical power.
Power Factor Correction on a switching power supply controls the timing and wave shape of the input current drawn to maintain the current waveform approximately in phase with and of the same shape as the line voltage.
This results in a power factor of approximately 1.0. This is important when electronic equipment consumes a significant amount of power,
since otherwise the facility power system could exceed its current ratings for the power consumed and potentially impact other equipment on the same power system.
In normal , electronic equipment without PFC function , the PF is around 50% only.

Q2. Why we need PFC?

ANS:
The benefits of Power Factor Correction including:
1. Reduced electric utility bills ( a typical payback period is less than six months to a year)
2. Increased system capacity
3. Improved voltage
Low power factor means poor electrical efficiency. The lower the power factor, the higher the apparent power drawn from the distribution network.
When low power factor is not corrected, the utility must provide the nonworking reactive power in addition to the working active power.
This results in the use of larger generators, transformers, bus bars, wires, and other distribution system devices that otherwise would not be necessary.
Electronic equipment with PFC could promote it-self energy utilization to help cut consumer bill in percentage ,
also PFC is a environment friendly technology, reducing the harmonics that creat electrical polluation to benefits the society as a whole.

Q3. How can a PFC power supply save energy?

ANS:

By reducing the volt-amperes your electric utility has to deliver in order to provide a gene power level demanded by the power supply.
Much less power is lost in generating useless noise frequencies that unnecessarily load down the AC electrical delivery system.

Q4. What's Active / Passive PFC ?

ANS:
Active type power factor correction using active component (control circuit and power sine conductor ON/OFF switch).
Its fundamental working theory is to adjust input current waveform to looks like input voltage waveform, this can reach the point where power factor of 1 goal.
Also, the input voltage range can be 90Vdc to 264V without additional switch for choosing the voltage range.
To have a universal voltage model, this power factor regulator is a very important additional value. Otherwise, the cost increased more.
Passive PFC, using inductor, capacitor circuitry to reduce harmonic current, because power source frequency is 50 Hz or 60Hz low frequency, it needs large inductor and capacitor. Moreover, the power factor improvement is only around 75%~80%. Active PFC , using active components(control circuit and power sine conductor On/Off switch), the fundamental working theory is to adjust input current wave-form to simulate input voltage waveform.
With this method, we can achieve power factor near or equal to the 100% power factor target.

Q5. The fan in the power supply is making rattling noises, is much louder than expected or not spinning. Can I replace the fan or the unit??

ANS:
We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please do not attempt to fix the power supply by opening it as that will void the warranty.
Please log onto our website at:
www.thermaltake.com.au/Support/Warranty.aspx
to complete the RMA request form online.
The request form will allow you to request for a replacement unit.
if you have any questions regarding the RMA process, please contact our RMA department at rma@thermaltake.com.au
