			\|'''PFC'''
			\|'''power factor correction''' Aims to draw a sinusoidal current from a sinusoidal voltage source. The quick current loop on the openinverter firmware somewhat achieves this when in boost mode, i.e. it boosts more in the sine "valley" and boosts less at the peak.
			Boost mode would require a (discharged) battery voltage below peak voltage and a rectified voltage to be fed in to the original battery input.

			\|'''PWM'''
			\|'''Pulse-width modulation''' ('''PWM''') is a method of reducing the average power delivered by an electrical signal, by effectively chopping it up into discrete parts. The average value of voltage (and current) fed to the load is controlled by turning the switch between supply and load on and off at a fast rate.
