Abstract

This paper suggests different PFC circuit implementations in relation to same as the IEC 61000-3-2 norms. Issues related to power devices and its design criteria which are widely implemented to improve the performance of active PFC circuits are investigated. No work has been performed on these converters for different control schemes. Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits are extensively utilized to eliminate several problems related to power quality. The active or passive PFC circuits can serve a purpose. The passive PFC system represents a circuit for distortions and helps to comply with the specification without completely suppressing harmonics or enhancing the power factor of the converter. The active PFC seems to be really a high-frequency converter with an almost near unit power factor that generates minimal harmonics and it also complies with switch conversion method.
