A 3-phase inductor fed SMR converter with high frequency isolation, high power density and improved power factor

A novel two stage Inductor fed Switch Mode Rectifier (SMR) topology has been developed and presented In this paper. Its advantages over other SMR topologies Include; high Input power factor; Improved reliability; high power density; minimum Input line current harmonic distortion; elimination of the Input filter AC capacitors and elimination of of the DC link capacitor.
