Abstract:
A power factor correction system for a resistive load, comprising:a power source that is direct communication with conventional power lines having an expected line voltage;a temperature controller in communication with said power source and being programmed to output a predetermined output signal to the resistive load to charge the resistive load to provide a desired voltage level, said predetermined output signal being at least partially based on said expected line voltage;a sensing device disposed between said power source and said temperature controller, in order to determine an actual line voltage valve and transmit a signal to said temperature controller representative of a difference between said expected line voltage and said actual line voltage; andcompensating means in communication with said temperature controller for adjusting said predetermined output signal based on said difference between said actual line voltage and said actual line voltage;whereby the resistive load output meets said desired level throughout a desired cycle.
