Abstract

A single phase AC to DC rectifier employing soft switching technique is simulated in this paper. The rectifier used is boost rectifier whereby we can achieve unity power factor, low total harmonic distortion and high efficiency. The soft switching technique in this rectifier is achieved using zero current switching during turn on while during turn off, it used zero voltage switching. In this paper, the rectifier and its modes of operation are explained. The method of control is assessed and the simulation results are obtained from doing a simulation of a boost rectifier using an IGBT switch.
