There are various reasons why power factor correction circuit is used in various power supplies in large systems. The PFC (Power Factor Correction) at input stage becomes real necessary when the input power goes above 1kW typically. Recent advances in PFC include interleaving of two out-of-phase circuits to gain many system level advantages. Enough has been discussed about the advantages of int...

The fully relativistic theory of the g factor of Li-like ions with nonzero nuclear spin is considered for the (1s)22s state. The magnetic-dipole hyperfine-interaction correction to the atomic g factor is calculated including the one-electron contributions as well as the interelectronic-interaction effects of order 1/Z. This correction is combined with the interelectronic-interaction, QED, nucle...

New recommendations and future standards have increased the interest in power factor correction circuits. There are multiple solutions in which line current is sinusoidal. In addition, in the recent years, a great number of circuits have been proposed with nonsinusoidal line current. In this paper, a review of the most interesting solutions for single phase and low power applications is carried...

Conventional AC/DC power converters that are connected to the line through full-wave rectifier draws a non-sinusoidal input current. These Harmonic currents flowing through the impedances in the electrical utility distribution system can cause several problems such as voltage distortion, heating, noises. These harmonics distort the local voltage waveform, potentially interfering with other elec...

Harmonic pollution and low power factor in power systems caused by power converters have been a great concern. To overcome these problems several converter topologies and control schemes have been proposed in recent years. This paper is proposed to study the control techniques for such converters to improve the Power Factor (PF) and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) in the input current wi...
