Abstract

The demands of minimizing the reactive power and reducing the current harmonics are increasing nowdays. The inverter airconditioner needs high inductive power and it operates with wide load ranges. Conventionally, an huge LC passive filter is used in airconditioner to improve the power factor and to reduce current harmonics which doesn't give good results. In this paper, a design of active power factor correction(APFC)circuit for inverter airconditioner is described. To improve the P.F and reduce the current THD, average current controlled APFC is designed and tested. The problems of APFC implementation, their solution and testing results are described.
