Abstract :
A novel control method for single-phase multilevel rectifiers is proposed to meet harmonic current limiting standards with minimum input filter inductance. Since the proposed rectifier consists of a main power circuit of a diode bridge and two auxiliary semiconductor switches in parallel with the main circuit, it provides several features; high efficiencies, high input power factor, and low EMI. The simulation and the experimental results show that the proposed control method reduces the input filter inductance minimum.
