Abstract :
This paper presents some power converter architectures and circuit topologies, which can be used to achieve the requirements of the high performance transformer rectifier unit in aircraft applications, mainly as: high power factor with low THD, high efficiency and high power density. The voltage and the power levels demanded for this application are: three-phase line-to-neutral input voltage of 115 or 115VAC rms (360-800Hz), output voltage of 28VDC or 270VDC (new grid value) and the output power up to tens of kilowatts.
