Abstract

This paper presents novel bridgeless power factor correction circuits that achieve both high reliability and high efficiency. The proposed circuits can protect silicon carbide Schottky barrier diodes, MOSFETs, and body diodes against flowing high inrush current without impairing efficiency. This paper introduces the principle of operation including the control scheme and the simulation and experimental results.
