A sinusoidal line current rectifier using a zero-voltage switching step-up converter

Abstract

A rectifier circuit which draws sinusoidal input current from the line is described and its experimental implementation is discussed. The circuit uses a zero-voltage switching technique to reduce switching losses. The advantages and disadvantages of such a circuit compared with those of conventional input current shaping circuits are listed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
