A Novel Bridgeless Interleaved Power Factor Correction Circuit with Single Current Sensor

In this paper, a novel bridgeless interleaved power factor correction circuit with single current sensor is proposed. The proposed control strategy requires only one current sensor for the interleaved bridgeless PFC. By sampling the output current, all the boost indictor currents can be calculated and used to control the input current according to the input voltage. The reduced number of current sensors and associated feedback circuits helps reduce the cost of system. The problem caused by the unequal current gain between current sensors inherently does not exist in the proposed topology. Thus, current sharing between converters can be achieved more accurately and the high frequency distortion is decreased. In addition, the proposed technique can be applied to the other kinds of interleaved PFC topologies. Performance of the proposed control strategy is verified by the experimental results with 6.6kW bridgeless interleaved PFC circuit.
