An AC-to-DC Converter with High Quality Input Waveforms

An ac-to-dc converter which draws sinusoidal and inphase current waveforms from the ac power source is described. Harmonic and power factor measurements obtained from a field- effect transistor (FET) converter operating at 45 kHz for a single- phase and a three-phase connection are presented. A stab...

Summary:An ac-to-dc converter which draws sinusoidal and inphase current waveforms from the ac power source is described. Harmonic and power factor measurements obtained from a field- effect transistor (FET) converter operating at 45 kHz for a single- phase and a three-phase connection are presented. A stability analysis and design methodology are given.
