Abstract :
A new single-stage ac-dc converter that can operate with a low primary-side dc bus voltage that is much less variable than that found in other single-stage converters is proposed in the paper. The operation of the converter is discussed in the paper and its various modes of operation are explained. Several key relations are derived and used in the design of the converter. Experimental results obtained from a prototype converter are also presented.
