Hi all,
what are the technical reasons for over-compensating the ASC? (what are the drawbacks of under-compensating). I read that it is related to the voltage displacement.
Are typical values between 10-15% ?.

Is any reference which details the effect of both over and undercompensating?

Many Thanks
Regards
Kevin
