Abstract

This paper proposes an improved type of the Hybrid-Parallel Power-Factor-Correction (HP-PFC) converter. It has the advantage of a higher efficiency and improved input current waveform. This advantage achieved through changing new charging path of the bulk capacitor and balancing the power flow from the two transformers to the output. This new circuit has been analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink and confirmed with experiment. As a conclusion, it is confirmed that this improved HP-PFC converter complies with the severe regulation of IEC61000-3-2 Class D. Moreover, a high efficiency of 90% is achieved for 15 V/6 A output power under the worldwide line voltage conditions.
