    A Low-Inductance Line-Frequency Commutated Rectifier Complying with EN 61000-3-2 Standards

    No full text
    The paper deals with line-frequency commutated rectifiers, providing compliance with IEC 1000-3-2 standards with a reduced overall reactive component size as compared to conventional rectifiers with passive L-C filters. Based on a previously presented high quality rectifier, different topological modifications are studied with the attempt to reduce the magnetic component volume and/or to improve rectifier performances. The low switching frequency accounts for reduction of losses and of electromagnetic noise emission as compared to high switching frequency rectifiers. Moreover, the switches operation results in a boost action, which compensates for the filter inductor voltage drop, thus providing output voltage stabilization against load variations

    A Low-Inductance Line-Frequency Commutated Rectifier Complying with EN 61000-3-2 Standards

    This paper presents a high power factor rectifier, based on a modified conventional rectifier with passive – filter, which utilizes a line-frequency-commutated switch and a small auxiliary circuit in order to improve both harmonic content of the input current and power factor, thus allowing compliance with EN 61000-3-2 European standards. Being the switch turned on and off only wice per line period, the associated losses are very small. Moreover the limited di/dt and dv/dt considerably reduce the high-frequency noise emission, thus avoiding heavy EMI filters. The switch operation results in a boost action, which compensates for the filter inductor voltage drop, thus providing output voltage stabilization against load variations. Compared with other similar approaches, the presented topology can achieve higher power levels with a reasonable overall magnetic component size

    Revista da Sociedade BrasThis paper presents an analysis of a threephase rectifier with high power factor using a SEPIC DCDC converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The structure is particularly simple and robust. Its main features are: one power processing stage, which can operate as step-down or step-up converter, lower harmonic distortion in the line current and natural isolation. The converter works with constant frequency and PWM modulation. A study for steady state conditions, a design procedure, and experimental results obtained from a laboratory prototype are presented

    The effects of a nonnegligible source impedance, due to the presence of an input EMI filter, on the stability of power factor preregulators (PFP’s) with average current control are analyzed by using a state-space averaged model. Differently from previous approaches, it allows us to derive a simple expression for the loop gain in terms of the converter current loop gain. The overall system stability was studied for boost, Cuk, and SEPIC PFP topologies. Based on this model, a simple modification of the standard current control loop is proposed which increases the converter robustness against instabilities. Comparison between model forecasts and experimental measurements was carried out using two prototypes, one based on the boost topology and the other based on the SEPIC topology, both rated at 600 W. Finally, the model accuracy was investigated with measurements at different current loop bandwidths

    This paper presents a high power factor rectifier, based on a modified conventional rectifier with passive L-C filter, which utilizes a line-frequency-commutated switch and a small auxiliary circuit in order to improve both harmonic content of the input current and power factor, thus allowing compliance with IEC 1000-3-2 standards. With the switch turned on and off only twice per line period, the associated losses are very small. Moreover the limited di/dt and dv/dt considerably reduce the high-frequency noise emission, thus avoiding heavy EMI filters. The switch operation results in a boost action, which compensates for the filter inductor voltage drop, thus providing output voltage stabilization against load variations. Compared with other similar approaches, the presented topology can achieve higher power levels with a reasonable overall magnetic component size
