Abstract

A single-phase voltage-doubler rectifier using pump circuits is presented. This can be operated in the switching states for pumping action to pump twice the peak supply voltage onto the output capacitor and for forcing the input current to follow its sinusoidal reference in the vicinity of a zero crossing of the supply. The arrangement tested, using two dual-switch power modules with IGBTs and a controller for output voltage regulation, is implemented to investigate the operation. The experimental results confirm that the input current can be waveshaped sinusoidally with a near-unity power factor under the output voltage duplication.
