Abstract :
Current programming in a three-phase high-power-factor rectifier based on two boost converters is discussed in this paper. It is shown that the converter currents can be expressed in terms of two mutually related auxiliary functions. The auxiliary functions are related to the input current spectrum. Optimal auxiliary functions that eliminate harmonics of the input currents are derived. A method to generate reference signals for the optimal current programming is proposed. Experimental results confirming the proposed concepts are presented.
