Abstract
An analysis is presented that ferns the basis for an algorithm for cal culating the IGBT losses in a power factor correction (PFC) circuit. T he method employs experimental data from an off-line test circuit that closely resembles the switching conditions in the actual PFC. This te chnique provides calculated values of both the conduction and switchin g losses of the main transistor in a boost-type PFC circuit. Results f or a 6 kW PFC are included.
