Abstract: The rapid placement of power electronic system in residential, commercial and industrial sides has energized the longing of an improved power factor to reduce the loss and cost. In this paper, a boost regulator based three phase rectifier for unity power factor is analyzed and described. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is used to control of the boost regulator. We also used current control loop inside feedback which is far flexible than voltage control mode. Running behind the improvement, we achieved the PF limit from 0.9706 to 0.9937, which is a great achievement on practical basis. This paper also shows that when harmonics filter is attached with input LC filter then input current becomes sinusoidal input current and power factor improves notably.

Keywords: Three phase rectifier input current, Boost pre-regulator, harmonics filter
