Abstract
The fundamental issues of power factor analysis for non-sinusoidal wav eforms are described. A full-wave rectifier circuit is analysed and or iginal approximations are derived for voltage ripple, peak diode curre nt and input power factor. A power factor correction technique, based on a switching mode power supply, is presented.
