Abstract

This paper proposes a new high-power factor three-phase AC-DC power converter, which is composed of a line interphase transformer (LIT) and two three-phase diode rectifiers, followed by a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) DC-DC boost power converter. The active switch of the boost converter is gated at a constant frequency such that the AC input current is discontinuous. This procedure provides an input current shaping without the third, fifth and seventh harmonics. The currents that flow through the LIT and boost inductors have such a high-switching frequency that ferrite cores with a small size can be utilized. In addition, the output voltage is regulated by PWM to compensate for line voltage variations and load change. Theoretical analysis, design procedure and example, along with experimental results taken from a 6 kW laboratory prototype are given.
