Abstract

This paper presents a novel three-phase power factor corrector (PFC) circuit which uses two power switches working in zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition. The two switches along with a high-frequency inductor constitute a high-frequency current source which is responsible for the energy transfer in the circuit. The input current is partly continuous and partly discontinuous. The total harmonic distortion (THD) in the input current has a low value of 4.5%, and the output DC voltage is very close to the peak line voltage. The operation of the converter is explained by identifying the different switching modes, and the simulation and experimental waveforms are presented
