In hi paper, he propoed filering approach i implemened wih cla-d erie-parallel reonan inverer. The experimenal reul are provided o validae he heoreical analye. I i proven ha he propoed approach can achieve nearly uniy power facor and very low harmonic diorion. I. INTRODUCTION Power elecronic circui wih high-frequency cla-d reonan inverer are broadly ued in many equipmen uch a elecronic balla, wiching power upplie, baery charger, and o on. Convenionally, hee equipmen, when exracing power from he ac line ource, ofen ue a diode recifier bridge wih a bulk elecrolyic capacior o provide mooh dc-link volage for he high-frequency cla-d inverer. Such a recifier circui ineviably draw an inpu curren of narrow pule, which i nooriouly of very poor power facor and eriou harmonic conen. Hence, a low co and imple rucure filer circui become required in he deign of he dc-linked cla-d inverer. Among many filering opologie, he power-facor-correcion (PFC) echnique wih a boo converer ha been proven o be efficien and imple [-]. Thi approach, however, i a he expene of an addiional power converer wih ophiicaed conrol leading o high co and lower overall efficiency. In an aemp o earch for a more compac, efficien and co-effecive oluion, many deign wih ingle-age converer have been developed [-7]. All hee approache make an inegraion of wo power converer, he power facor correcion age and he cla-d inverer. In hi inegraed circui, he energy proceing cheme i he ame a ha of he wo-age PFC circui. An inducor wih addiional power emiconducor device i needed for emporarily oring he energy upplied from he ac line ource, and hen ranferring he energy o he dc-link capacior. The average of he high-frequency wiching curren i made o follow he inpu line volage o achieve a high power facor. In order o reduce wiching loe, he inducor curren can deliberaely be operaed a diconinuou conducion mode (DCM)[]. Hence wichingon loe can be eliminaed. However, hi converer will be wiched off a i peak curren during every wiching cycle reuling in coniderable loe. To improve hi drawback, hi paper preen a new PFC circui wih a reonan energy ank by which boh wiching-on and wiching-off loe can be relieved. The propoed approach can eaily be inegraed ino he cla-d inverer age a a ingle-age high-power-facor inverer. An implemenaion on he erie-parallel reonan inverer i illuraed a a deign example. II. CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION AND ANALYSIS A. Circui Configuraion Fig. how he baic configuraion of he propoed PFC circui. Inead of he inducor ued in he convenional PFC circui, an energy reonan ank compriing an inducor and a capacior i ued a he elemen for emporary energy orage. The energy ank draw curren from he ac line during he wiching-on of he acive wich, S, in every high-frequency wiching cycle. When S i wiched off, he energy ored in he energy ank i ranferred o he dc-link capacior, C, hrough he energy ranfer diode, Dpf. C i a bulk elecrolyic capacior o provide a mooh dc-link volage for he cla D inverer age. Since S i wiched on and off a a high frequency, he inpu curren become a pulaing waveform a he ame frequency. By properly conrolling he ampliude and duraion of he pulaing curren, he average of he inpu curren can be made o be inuoidal and in phae wih he inpu volage. The high frequency conen in he inpu curren can imply be removed by a mall filer a he inpu erminal. Conequenly, a nearly uniy power facor and very low harmonic diorion can be achieved. v () - i() _ i Lpf Lpf i Cpf Dpf Cpf - vcpf S d Conrol Circui C v dc _ Cla D Inverer Sage Fig. PFC Circui wih reonan energy ank A compared wih he PFC circui a a boo inducor, he peak of he reonan curren i maller han he boo a

The peak value of capacior volage v cx i le han V dc and he inducor curren, i L, i mall and will reonae o zero. The operaion can be divided ino 5 ime inerval. During inerval I, he ranior, Q, i urned on and carrie boh i o and i L. The capacior, C x, i charged by hi inducor curren and v cy i clamped a zero.

During inerval II, he load curren flow hrough Q and i L ay a zero. A he beginning of inerval III, Q i wiched off, and he energy ored in C x i ranferred o he load and v cx decline. When he recified line volage become greaer han v cx, he recifier diode become forward biaed and inerval IV begin. Meanwhile, he line ource ar o charge C x and C y hrough he inducor.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS In order o achieve uniy power facor, he average inducor curren hould be made o follow i fundamenal wave which i in phae wih inpu line volage. The fundamenal curren can be deermined by he inpu power and he volage pecificaion. Then, he opimum capaciance can be calculaed Pin Cx (4) 4 fv where P in and V denoe he pecified inpu power and volage, repecively and f i he wiching frequency of he cla D reonan inverer. The opimum capaciance i choen o uain he power facor cloe o uniy. Then he wich-off angle can be deermined accordingly. However, i hould be reminded ha he high-frequency capacior can no be oo large ince hey ha o be compleely deenergized before he ranior on he ame ide ha been urned on. Oherwie, he reidual charge would be hor circuied a he wiching on of he ranior. Thi bring abou a curren pike ha may damage he circui componen.

The dicharging rae i proporional o he difference beween he load curren and he boo inducor curren. The load curren i wih conan ampliude while he average curren of he boo inducor ubanially follow he inpu line volage. Thi implie ha he lowe dicharging rae happen a he peak of he inpu line curren. In pracice, a illuraed in Fig. 7, he boo inducor curren around he peak poin i wih a very mall ripple o ha can be aumed o be a conan. Fig. 9 illurae ha he available dicharging inerval i approximaely fromo-. Wihin hi inerval, he load curren ha rien up and become greaer han he inducor curren. In oher word, he ranior can only be urned off afer, bu hould be urned on before-. Thi figure reveal ha he circui can work properly only when he ampliude of he load curren i greaer han ha of he inpu curren. For he pecified inpu power and he load curren, he maximum capaciance can be calculaed L (7) o C x On he oher hand, he wiching-off angle may be predeermined in ome pracical deign. In hi cae, he deign procedure can be curried ou inverely. V. EXPERIMENT RESULTS A cla D reonan inverer wih PFC circui of Fig. 5 i deigned and buil o drive a fluorecen lamp of 6W.
