Abstract
Power factor corrected AC–DC converter topologies have been of research interest for DC power supplies. The main goal of this work is to improve power quality at the supply side and maintain constant DC voltage at the output side by designing a Modified Bridge Less Positive Output Luo (MBLPOL) power factor correction (PFC) converter. Discontinuous conduction mode is also possible for input PFC with a small filter at the source side. In order to regulate the DC load voltage for various loads and supply voltage conditions, a feedback control circuit with a single voltage sensor is proposed for the PFC converter. A prototype of 100 W, 48 V, AC–DC MBLPOL converter is designed and tested. Proper design of controller for the converter guarantees the excellent performance and the same is validated with the help of simulation and hardware results. The proposed MBLPOL converter is tested for DC load voltage regulation for various load power and supply voltage variations. The experimental study shows supply current total harmonic distortion of 1.24% at rated load while maintaining unity power factor.
