An improved power quality converter for three-phase switched mode power supplies

In this paper, an improved power quality converter is presented for harmonic mitigation in SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) for telecom power applications with reduced kVA rating. The proposed ac-dc converter is found capable of suppressing less than 23
^rd
harmonic in the supply current along with the power factor improvement close to unity in the wide operating range. The effect of load variation on the SMPS is studied to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the improved converter.
