Abstract :
In this paper, a power factor correction (PFC) based on active-clamped full-wave quasi-resonant (ZCS-QR) boost converter is presented. This circuit is characterized by zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) and zero-current-switched (ZCS) that results in higher efficiency, opens possibility to incorporate higher switching frequency, and has some potency to reduce converter´s conducted EMI. The working principle and steady state performance of the proposed converter are presented. A 100 V dc input, 180 W maximum output, and 440 kHz resonant frequency experimental circuit has been built. Maximum efficiency of 93% and the proof of compliance to the IEC61000-3-2 class D have been confirmed by experiment.
