Abstract :

This paper proposed a semi–idgeless boost power factor corrected converter (PFC) with phase shifting. This converter is operated with simplified current–sensing method for the semi–idgeless boost PFC converter. The proposed converter has the advantageous features such as high efficiency at light loads and low ac input lines, minimize the charger size, charging time, and less amount and cost of electricity drawn .This paper presented a simulation results of a boost converter, converting the 230V ac input voltage to 400 V dc at 1 kW to 3kW Load.
