Modelling and Analysis of the Single-Phase Operation of the Belgian PFC Rectifier

Boost-type power factor correction (PFC) rectifiers can be used in, for example, battery charging systems for Electric Vehicles (EVs). Conventionally available three-phase PFC rectifiers are limited to output 1/3 of the rated power when connected to a single-phase mains. This work presents the research into the single-phase operation of the...
