Abstract
This paper is concerned with the study of a single-phase boost-type three-level rectifier. The converter is supposed to present high input power factor, low current harmonics, low total harmonic distortion, and simple control scheme. In order to minimize switching losses, a passive nondissipative snubber is associated with the aforementioned converter. The theoretical analysis, design procedure, and analytical results regarding a 1.2-kW prototype are presented to validate the proposal.
