Summary:This paper evaluates the need for power-factor correction (PFC) in
switched reluctance drive systems supplied from single-phase mains. The
aim is to achieve interference values lower than the prescribed norms at
minimal system costs and volume. It is shown that for certain
applications, a PFC circuit has to be implemented, but simpler technical
solutions are often possible. Finally, a suggestion is presented as to
how a low-cost power-factor-corrected system should be built for
high-volume production
