  • Abstract
    The efficiency of various PFC topologies is studied based on its classification. Three types of PFC topology classification are proposed namely the full-bridge with 2 DC/DC converters, full-bridge with 1 DC/DC converter and a Bridgeless converter. PFC circuit with low power application is the main concern in this study. The most commonly methods used to calculate the power losses is discussed and compared for the various topologies.
