Abstract

The fundamental issues of power factor analysis for non-sinusoidal waveforms are described. A full-wave rectifier circuit is analyzed and original approximations are derived for voltage ripple, peak diode current and input power factor. A power factor correction technique, based on a switching mode power supply, is presented.
