Abstract :
Five single-phase high power factor (HPF) switch mode rectifier (SMR) topologies have been evaluated on a comparative basis. Specifically, the boost power factor correction (PFC) rectifier, the modified zero current switched (ZCS) quasi resonant (QR) boost PFC rectifier, the respective ZCS QR flyback PFC rectifier, the full bridge semicontrolled SMR and the step up/down pulse width modulation (PWM) AC/DC converter have been compared with respect to their generated current harmonics, efficiencies, ratings of power semiconductor devices and passive elements and complexity of power and control circuit
