인버터 에어컨용 능동역률보상회로 설계 및 효과

In this paper, the inverter air-conditioner with Power Factor Correction(PFC) circuit is Presented for obtaining the good system efficiency and cost merit compared with the conventional inverter air-conditioner. The detailed design procedures for getting the optimal passive components are implemented. Through the simulation and experimental results, it is shown that the system efficiency can be improved. Using the designed components, the prototype system is builted and tested to verify the additional good performances of the proposed circuit.
