Comprehensive Study of Single-Phase AC-DC Power
Factor Corrected Converters with High-Frequency
Isolation
ABSTRACT: Solid-state switch mode AC-DC converters having high-frequency transformer
isolation are developed in buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations with improved power
quality in terms of reduced total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current, power-factor
correction (PFC) at AC mains and precisely regulated and isolated DC output voltage feeding to
loads from few Watts to several kW. This paper presents a comprehensive study on state of art of
power factor corrected single-phase AC-DC converters configurations, control strategies,
selection of components and design considerations, performance evaluation, power quality
considerations, selection criteria and potential applications, latest trends, and future
developments. Simulation results as well as comparative performance are presented and
discussed for most of the proposed topologies.
INDEX TERMS: AC-DC converters, harmonic reduction, high-frequency (HF) transformer
isolation, improved power quality converters,
power-factor correction.

CONCLUSION
A comprehensive review of the improved power quality HF transformer isolated AC-DC
converters has been made to present a detailed exposure on their various topologies and its
design to the application engineers, manufacturers, users and researchers. A detailed
classification of these AC-DC converters into 12 categories with number of circuits and concepts
has been carried out to provide easy selection of proper topology for a specific application.
These AC-DC converters provide a high level of power quality at AC mains and well regulated,
ripple free isolated DC outputs. Moreover, these converters have been found to operate very
satisfactorily with very wide AC mains voltage and frequency variations resulting in a concept of
universal input. The new developments in device technology, integrated magnetic and
microelectronics are expected to provide a tremendous boost for these AC-DC converters in
exploring number of additional applications. It is hoped that this exhaustive design and
simulation of these HF transformer isolated AC-DC converters is expected to be a timely
reference to manufacturers, designers, researchers, and application engineers working in the area
of power supplies.
