Single Phase Single Stage Power Factor Correction Converter with Phase Shift PWM Technique

Abstract — A single-phase, three-level, single-stage power-factor corrected AC/DC converter is presented. that operates with a single controller to regulate the output voltage. the input inductor act as a boost inductor to have a single stage power factor correction. The outstanding features of the rectifier is that it can produce input currents that do not have dead band regions and an output current that can be continuous when the converter is operating from maximum load to at least half of the load. It can operate with less output inductor current ripple; and the input current has small distortion. Index Terms— (TL) converters.
