High Power Factor AC/DC Converter
A single phase boost rectifier circuit is studied with and without feedforward techniques. The circuit is implemented and tested experimentally. It can be operated at high power factor (greater than 0,99), and at line current total harmonic distortion (THD) (less than 0.06), by selecting a suitable control parameters at the desired output power.
