Bridgeless PFC boost rectifier with optimized magnetic utilization

An implementation of bridgeless PFC boost rectifier with low common-mode noise is presented. The proposed implementation employs a unique multiple-winding, multi-core inductor to increase the utilization of the magnetic material. The operation and performance of the circuit was verified on a 750-W, universal-line experimental prototype operating at 110 kHz.
