Abstract
This paper develops a modified AC/DC boost rectifier for power factor correction applications. The developed rectifier topology uses fewer devices compared to semi-bridgeless type boost rectifiers, and the overall efficiency is increased due to the elimination of the circulating current provided by the inductors. Moreover, it achieves a higher power factor and better total harmonic distortion (THD) in high load conditions. The performance of the developed topology was evaluated and verified by means of simulation and hardware experimental results.
