Power Factor Controller
This circuit is called power factor controller with universal input circuit. It has input range about 90 to 268Vac. Any standards of mains supply in almost any country would be under that range. Maximum load of this power factor controller is 450W. The circuit shown by the schematic diagram below :
This is a simple circuit because this circuit uses the internal circuitry of MC34262 power factor controller integrated circuit chip. For higher operating ambient temperature range, -40 to 105 celcius degree, we can replace the IC with MC33262, because MC34262 chip only has the ambient operating temperature range of 0-85 celcius degree.
