Abstract:
A power factor correction circuit for a power electronic system includes a series-pass device arranged to control an input characteristic of a power converter, and a control mechanism arranged to control an operation of the series-pass device during a power conversion process. The correction circuit increases a power factor of the power electronic system and/or reduces a harmonic distortion generated by the power converter to an electrical current supplied by a power source in the power electronic system.
