   A COMBINED BUCK AND BOOST POWER-FACTOR-CONTROLLER FOR THREE-PHASE INPUT   [View] 
 [Download] 
 Author(s)   Berthold Fuld; Siegfried Kern; Ray Ridley 
 Abstract   Power factor controllers presented in the past are mostly either boost-type (with high output voltage) or buck-type (with low output voltage) [1]. An alternate solution is a combination of a buck and a boost stage, giving important advantages at high input voltage
- Favourable output voltage, e.g. 400 V
- Wide input voltage range
- No additional inrush limiter necessary
For three-phase input, it is possible to use three single phase units connected each to two phases (line-to-line). Since the busses have different voltages to ground, it is not possible to connect them. Therefore it is necessary to use DC/DC converters with loadsharing to get equal input currents. The control is simple: a conventional PFC-controller is augmented by an additional current loop and a circuit which switches between the two stages.
