Circuits for Power Factor Correction with Regards to Mains Filtering

نویسنده

  • J. M. Bourgeois
چکیده

The new European Norms EN 60555 and the international standard IEC555 will impose a limit on the harmonic content of the input current of mains supplied equipment. In practice this will require the addition of a Power Factor Corrector (PFC) at the input of many types of mains operated electronic equipment, for example electronic lamp ballasts, TV power supplies and motor drives. A correctly designed PFC draws a sinusoidal input current from the mains supply, in phase with the mains voltage, and meets the EN60555 norm. It may also provide additional functions, such as automatic mains voltage selection and a regulation of the voltage supplied to the attached equipment.

Power Factor Correction using Valley-Fill SEPIC Topology with Fuzzy Logic Control

This paper deals with a new single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) for power factor correction (PFC). The proposed converter is used in combination with SEPIC and a valley fill circuit. The valley fill circuit improves the efficiency of the SEPIC by reducing the harmonics in the supply mains. The power factor is also enhanced compared to the conventional PFC converters. It uses the s...
