Abstract :
A single-switch, one-stage power factor correction converter with output electrical isolation is proposed. To relieve the voltage spike caused by the leakage inductance of the power transformer, two bulk storage capacitors are used. The proposed converter has both a good power factor correction and excellent line and load regulation capabilities with an efficiency of 87%
