Abstract
This article analyzes a three-phase single-stage isolated flyback-based power factor correction converter and presents a novel clamping circuit to capture the transformers leakage inductance energy. The converter unity power factor operation is obtained by using the inherent resistance property of discontinuous conduction mode. Thus, the input current shaping circuit is eliminated and resulted in a single-loop control system. Therefore, the converter control circuit requires only one sensor, which decreases the system cost, and also increases the system robustness to high-frequency noise. With the proposed clamping circuit, the transformers leakage inductance energy is successfully captured in clamping capacitor, and thereby, it is fed to the dc load by using an auxiliary two-switch forward converter which enhanced the overall operating efficiency of a converter. The converter detailed steady-state operation and the design considerations are presented. Each power component voltage stress expressions are derived to simplify the converter design, and the converter small-signal model is presented to help the controller design. The novelty and performance of the converter is verified by both simulation and experimentation.
