Abstract :
This paper deals with the optimization of the design of single-stage power factor correctors (S2PFC). As a result, a good trade off between current stress in semiconductors, voltage across the bulk capacitor and total inductor size has been established. The final conclusions allow us to reduce the total size of the additional inductors used by two-three times in comparison with previous implementations
