  41. Comparison of Two PF on Three Machines • Both Single Phase and 3 Phase DC is best in low power factor (high inductive) circuits providing as much smoothing as possible • Phase shifting will increase ripple (more in single phase). Operate on the highest phase shift and lowest tap setting possible

  42. Disadvantages • Expensive • Need Heavy Duty Diodes • One Electrode Wears • Advantages • High Power Factor • Uniform Heat Flow • No need to balance hook-up • No pf loss by material in throat
