Abstract :
The main objective of this work is a comparison of three nonpollutant AC-DC convertor topologies with unity power factor and high efficiency, in order to derive maximum benefit from the assembly utilised while ensuring AC/DC conversion. Discussion of the principle of comparison is followed by a detailed analysis and tables showing the advantages and disadvantages of each convertor. The results of simulation of the three proposed convertors are presented
