  We developed a Power Factor Correction Adaptor for low power factor and low power consumption electronic devices. Normal electronic devices without Power Factor Correction function have a power factor of around 0.6. The developed adaptor results in a power factor of more than 0.9 and can be used for less than or equal to 50W devices. This means effective energy utilization and reduction of harmonics (electrical pollution).
