A New Valley-fill Circuit for Improving Power Factor
밸리-필 정류 회로의 역률 개선
Abstract
A new Valley-fill circuit for improving PF(power factor) is proposed in this paper. The proposed topology combines Valley-fill rectifier and an additional inductor for boosting. In the proposed circuit, a shapc of input current is related to the PWM duty cycle. The boosting inductor makes improve PF by the electric charge transfer action. The operation principle and the shape of input current arc analyzed as applied the boosting inductor. The optimum value of boosting inductor is determined. A 100W single-stage converter has been designed and tested. Experimental results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed converter.
