With a single active switch in addition to the diode bridge rectifier, the converters are capable of drawing a high-quality input-current waveform naturally at nearly unity power factor. Thus a simple 3 phi AC-DC high power factor rectifier is obtained. Simulation and experimental results are supplied to demonstrate the validity of the concept.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":402706,"journal":{"name":"PESC '92 Record. 23rd Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125452030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 2D finite element analysis is employed to study systems consisting of a large number of conductors. It is shown that the introduction of conductor-to-conductor spacing can reduce proximity losses.
