Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Low Cost Design Solution - DSP Based Active Power Factor Corrector for SMPS/ UPS( Single Phase)Samia Pillai Pitchai, B. UmamaheswariAs per international agency regulation (IEC 1000-3-2/EN 61000-3-2) and market expectation, it is important to reduce current harmonics in the AC line current drawn by SMPS/ UPS connected to AC Mains as source and also it is desired by the user to deliver maximum power output by achieving unity power factor. To achieve the above objectives in SMPS/ UPS, APFC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,896 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHARMONICS REDUCTION IN FRONT END RECTIFER OF UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES WITH ACTIVE CURRENT INJECTIONT. Chandrasekar, B. Justus Rabi, A. KannanHarmonics are the by-products of modern electronics devices so it is necessary to mitigate the harmonics and offer techniques to mitigation of harmonics. It is greatly hampered by a three phase rectifier used as a front-end ac-to-dc converter in many systems. High power factor is achieved by injecting high-frequency currents into the three-phase rectifier. This study presents the high power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 6,803 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Harmonic Components on Transformer Losses of Sinusoidal Source Supplying Non-Linear LoadsI. Daut, H. S. Syafruddin, Rosnazri Ali et al.An important consideration when evaluating the impact of harmonics is their effect on power system component and loads. Transformers are major components in power systems. The increased losses due to harmonic distortion can cause excessive losses and hence abnormal temperature rise. The measurement of iron losses and copper losses of single-phase transformers is important in particular for transformers feeding nonlinear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,398 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Single-Phase Rectifier with Improved Power Factor and Low THD using Boost Converter TechniqueIsmail Daut, Rosnazri Ali, Soib TaibThe method of using Boost type of converter was proposed for a 300W single-phase rectifier in this paper. By designing the necessary techniques and methodology, the overall Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion would be improved to the expectation. The cause of having low PF and high THD for a diode-capacitor type of rectifiers is related to non-linearity of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,127 accessesView PDF Cite
