Abstract:
This paper presents a solution for coupled inductors applied for Three-phase Boost PFC converters. The design focus in a four-limb magnetic core and allows reducing the number of magnetic components present in on-board chargers. Using powder core material, the fourth magnetic limb is equally distributed among the three other legs. An equivalent model is derived for electrical and magnetic simulations for the PFC application and experimental results validate the proposed design.
