Abstract
The paper presents a forward converter with power factor correction. The novelty of the paper consists in a combination between a forward converter and a valley fill circuit. The auxiliary winding of forward converter is included in valley fill converter. The new converter has a high power factor. The paper will present the design, simulations and experimental results of the proposed circuit. Another important advantage of the proposed circuit is a reduced stress of the power transistor.
