PFC
Power Factor Correction. Technique of increasing the power factor of a power supply. Switching power supplies without power factor correction draw current in short, high-magnitude pulses. These pulses can be smoothed out by using active or passive techniques. This reduces the input RMS current and apparent input power, thereby increasing the power factor.
Within Europe power supplies as low as 75 watts are required to have PFC when used is certain inductries whereas in the USA this requirement has yet to be enforced.
