| Abstract | ||
| Electrical devices, which mostly used at houses, industrial, commercial purposes and other applications,require amendment for itspower to some standard forms. Typically, rectification would be necessaryfor a proper operation and for a high performance.The electrical devices are representedas non-linear loads therefore, it isproducing a non-sinusoidal current, and as a result, they are working with a poor power factor. In this research paper,an active power factor correction circuit designed by using Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) "Buck Converter"type, to improve the power factor. The input parameters are 220V, 50Hz. Moreover, the Average Current Mode Control (ACMC) method has been implemented to observe the effect of the corrected active power factor on the circuit. Theresearch starts with the study of the power factor anddesigning the proposed system.The software P-SIM (6.1)will be used in designing the circuit and viewing the waveforms. The main advantage of use P-SIM software is providing a powerful simulation environment for power electronics and power conversion systems. Finally, the simulation results in the current research are compared with the adopted research results. | ||
