Abstract :
In this paper a new single-stage PFC topology, to meet IEC 61000-3-2, based on the forward converter with a low frequency switch is presented. The proposed converter is simple and surfers from lower component stresses than other single-stage PFC converters. Due to this it is expected that the converter will operate with higher conversion efficiency and lower cost. The harmonic content of the input current, efficiency and component stress are investigated.
