Abstract

The power factor correction of the input current of a switch mode power supply was analyzed. An alternating current (ac)-direct current (dc) converter was used with a storage capacitor and a passive inductor for power factor correction. The current was shaped using a sloped air-gap inductor. The volumes of the sloped air-gap inductor and the filter inductor were compared. A swinging inductor was proposed to implement adapted harmonic filtering over a wide range.
