Re: [TCML] Power Factor Correction

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Javatc is giving a basic calculation for PFC based on the transformers 
specs. This is only a ball park number. You must experiment to find the 
PFC that works best for your coil. Does you coil have a variac control, 
external current limiting, etc.. etc.. Experiment is the only way to 
find the "good" value for your coil.

Take care,
Bart
