A new family of single-switch three-phase highpower-factor rectifiers, which have continuous input and output currents, is introduced. By using a multiresonant scheme, the transistor operates with zero-current switching (ZCS), and the diodes operate with zero-voltage switching (ZVS). These multiresonant rectifiers with a single transistor are capable of drawing a higher quality input-current wa...

Abstract — A circuit technique that reduces switching losses of the pulse-width-modulated boost converter is described. The losses are reduced by using a new switch cell that consists of an inductor, a diode, a capacitor, a main switch, and an auxiliary switch. This technique reduces the reverse-recovery-related losses of the rectifier with the inductor that controls the di/dt rate of the recti...
