Abstract :
The power transfer through a multipurpose switching-mode converter is studied. Many authors presented the separate functions of the switching mode converters as active power filters, reactive power compensator and unity power factor rectifier. The authors present the simultaneity of those three functions and the capability of power transfer is discussed in detail. The results of this research are intended to be a guideline for application designers.
