Power Management
Passive components in power management:
- Voltage Regulation: Capacitors and inductors stabilize voltage levels in power supplies by smoothing out fluctuations and filtering noise.
- Energy Storage: Capacitors store energy for short-term needs, ensuring continuous power supply during brief interruptions or load changes.
- Power Conversion: Transformers and inductors play a key role in converting voltage levels in AC-DC and DC-DC converters, critical for efficient power distribution.
- EMI Filtering: Chokes and ferrite cores are used to suppress electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean power delivery and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Current Limiting: Resistors and thermistors help manage current flow to protect circuits from overload and ensure safe operation.
- Power Factor Correction: Capacitors and inductors improve power factor in electrical systems, optimizing energy usage and reducing losses in industrial applications.
These components are essential for efficient, reliable, and safe power management in a wide range of electronic devices and systems.
