What is PFC?

PFC can refer to several technologies depending on the context. It could refer to Power Factor Correction, which improves the efficiency of electrical devices by reducing reactive power. It can also stand for Perfluorocarbons, a group of synthetic greenhouse gases used in various industrial processes. Without more context, it is impossible to determine the specific technology referenced.
