Abstract :
This paper describes a novel passive power-factor correction circuit that ensures the compliance of the capacitively filtered single-phase rectifier with the EN61000-3-2 norm at a cost much lower than the known solutions. The circuit can be used to about 300 W. The additional components are a small inductor, a small capacitor and a diode
