Asymmetrical Pulse Width Modulated AC Chopper to Improve the Input Power Factor

Asymmetrical pulse width modulated(APWM) control technique for AC chopper is proposed which can improve the input power factor. The ideal switching function for the proposed technique is derived and its optimal slope to maintain the input power factor to unity is calculated. By digital simulation several characteristics are investigated theoretically and then compared with those of the conventional PWM and the phase angle control technique. In order to maintain the input power factor to unity the optimal slope and the average value of the ideal switching function are calculated. The experimental results show a good agreement with the calculated ones, which proves the feasibility of the proposed technique.
