Abstract :
A new soft-switching boost chopper, which can be utilised for diode-bridge power factor correction, is presented. The soft-switching cell is composed of two switch-diode pairs linked by an inductor and a capacitor in parallel The soft-switching scheme is verified by means of PSPICE simulation and prototype experiment
