Abstract :
This paper reviews progress in topology, control and design aspects in three-phase power factor correction techniques. Different switching rectifier topologies are presented for various applications. Representative soft switching schemes, including zero-voltage and zero-current switched PWM techniques, are investigated. Merits and limitations of these techniques are discussed and illustrated by experimental results obtained on prototype converters. Control and input filter design issues are also discussed
