Abstract :
The controlled-current PWM converter has the capability of delivering near sinusoidal current waveforms with unity and even leading power factors. This paper describes its transient characteristics when operated with a simple proportional feedback control to ensure regulated dc voltage output. Experimental tests show that it has fast step response and that it survives abnormal operational conditions such as brown-outs and loss of a single phase.
