            Abstract : 
This paper presents a new simple forward AC/DC converter with harmonic current correction and fast output voltage regulation. In the proposed AC/DC converter, an extra winding wounded in transformer provides two major merits: The function of bulk inductor has been replaced by tills extra back-feeding transformer winding in the proposed converter and significant volume and weight in magnetic material can be saved. The voltage across bulk capacitor can be hold under 450 V by tuning transformer windings ratio even though the converter operates in wide range input voltage (90 V~ 265 V/ac). This new converter complies with IEC 61000-3-2 under the load range of 200 W and it has fast output voltage regulation
